Rating: Summary: Recommended to Everyone I know!! Review: This book is packed with information and it's the most interesting read I've found in a long time. The author makes it easy to find all the cemeteries and exact grave locations of hundreds of celebrities, plus his sardonic wit and amusing writing style entertain. Tod has really gone out of his way to unearth (no pun intended) many nuggets of our heroes - and anti heroes! I love it!!
Rating: Summary: I've been bringing this book along with me whenever I travel Review: This book is totally cool. The author is very witty and he shares alot of interesting tidbits about each famous person - and there are 450 entries in the book, someone for everyone. If they had a particulalry interesting death, he explains those circumstances but, if they just croaked from cancer or something he just moves along and doesn't try to make something of nothing. Finally, he lends very concise directions to every cemetery and to the exact grave once you've arrived at the cemetery.
I travel for work alot and I've been bringing this with me wherever I go. I've visited Joe DiMaggio, Judy Garland, Charles Schulz, Jackie Gleason, Jimi Hendrix, John Gotti, Lee Harvey Oswald, Bette Davis and many others with the help of this book.
It's a great read and it's really useful too. Totally cool.
Rating: Summary: Good Read Review: This book not only contains the whereabouts of many 'famous' people's graves, but it has thumbnail boigraphies of the people in question. For a casual reader, it can be picked up and a few sections can be read easily at one sitting. For the hard-core reader, it can be like 'bubblegum for the brain' and be an entertaining read. Couldn't give it any higher than four stars. Like a reviewer states below, there is some misinformation in the book. Minor to be sure, but it is still an entertaining read.
