Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: I was "buried" in the book! Comment: I could not put this book down! As morbid as it sounded at first, I found myself buried in it, no pun intended, and was fascinated to read about various celebrities and other notorious folks and where they are buried. The author included a a few from most every genre of entertainment and a few that I've never heard of, too. This was a book I read over again and passed along to friends to read, too. Just a fun read overall! Customer Rating: Summary: Not Just for the Morbidly Minded Comment: I love this book, not only does it give you a bit of background for each individual, it also tells you about their death and a desription of te funeral. But to me the best part are the specific instructions on how to find the grave of your favorite star, historian or literary figure, even to telling how to get into the locked private section of Forest Lawn to see Humphrey Bogart's final resting place. Customer Rating: Summary: where are they buried? how did they die? Comment: Excellent coffee table/bathroom reader. Full of fascinating obscure facts most are curious about when they pick up the book. Customer Rating: Summary: Just as the book's title said....... Comment: Just as the title of this book said, this is a book about where famous persons are buried and also how they died. I'm having so much fun reading this book because it gives a nice background about the famous person that died. Also, I did not know how 80% of the famous people in this book died, so those facts are a nice addition to the book (a sort of BONUS) . There are other books out there that describe where famous people are buried, but I like this book the best because of the added BONUS of telling the reader how the persons died and some nice information about them,while they were still alive. Very informative. Customer Rating: Summary: Every thing you needed to know... Comment: Short descriptions on the deaths of famous people. I would have liked a little more detail regarding the circumstances of the deaths, and less about the location of the graves. Still a great read and would recommend it to anyone! More Reviews
