I vividly remember snorting various beverages through my nose whilst reading Shaw's previous compendium of trivia, Five People Who Died During Sex, so perhaps my expectations were too high, but 10 Ways to Recycle a Corpse is hardly the doubling-down on the funny that the title might imply. There are, obviously, funny bits here, but Shaw seems to stick close to only a handful of historical figures which gives the work a rather limited feel and some of the facts get recycled from list to list. Perhaps there's an endless stream of Hitler jokes to be made (at least, so YouTube suggests!), but not here - at least, not successfully. Entertaining, but nothing to snort soda through your nose over.
