This was a fast and informative read that would make a fantastic coffee table book. It has a ton of wild facts and dark humor to keep anyone entertained for quite some time.
I noticed that Wikipedia is cited a ton in the sources, so take that for what you will. Either way, it’s an easily digestible read that kept my attention. I think I might even try listening to the podcast of origin!
