When Hitler Took Cocaine and Lenin Lost His Brain

I enjoyed this book - probably more than I had expected to.
To describe the book - it is a collection of very short stories taken from the archive searches - all with a weird, unexpected, or unusual element to them, which are arranged in loose chapters of similar content - for example - there might be 3 or 4 stories located in polar regions, or 3 or 4 stories about Hitler, or 3 or 4 stories set in Japan, etc etc

They are very short - most 7-10 pages, some up to about 15 pages. This makes it ideal as a short burst, pick up / put down read. The stories are varied and interesting, there are twists, turns and surprises. There are some which are relatively well known (and this has been a criticism from other reviewers) - you hear them on those pop history game shows - like Stephen Fry's QI, or other fact based quiz shows - but most are new to me, and while there is certainly some sensationalism around the title, it is harmless promotion.

Overall very good, and I will seek out the second book in Milton's series.
