really liked it

The very title of this book offers some insight into what is encased within its pages. ‘Curing Hiccups with Small Fires� manages to deliver an informative, yet undeniably humorous collection of entries, detailing some of Britain’s most notable eccentrics.
The book is arranged in an approachable manner, with details of each eccentric taking only a small portion of the entire compilation (which is particularly welcome considering that this makes way to cram in even more amusing individuals!)
In regards to the style in which this non-fiction book is written, the text takes on an enjoyable informal tone, whilst also managing to successfully deliver the glut of information (which the writer has managed to make exceptionally entertaining) in a short space.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and would recommend it to anyone who has a mind that’s thirsty for amusing knowledge. This is not your typical non-fiction book, and would appeal to those who have enjoyed works by authors such as Albert Jack, or series such as ‘The Darwin Awards�.
