I found this book to be very interesting and catching. It's easy to read and very informative. It tells you everything about everything down to the slow painful way each weapon kills you. I also liked how the author didn't just leave the weapons hanging in the air but really put them into context of not only when they were used but who specifically used them. It was a great book and terifically written.
