Interesting Read!

I really enjoyed this book. It provides a lot of historical context, describing specific historical events associated with a specific poison/toxin over the centuries from all over the world. It is well written, and I think the book itself is beautiful. The pages are thick, the illustrations are wonderful and the pages are nicely laid out.
