Ever wonder which circles of Dante’s Inferno have the nicest accommodations? Where’s the best place to grab a bite to eat in the ancient Egyptian underworld?

What hidden treasures can be found off the beaten path in Hades, Valhalla, or TV’s The Good Place? Find answers to all those questions and more about the world(s) to come in this eternally entertaining book from Ken Jennings.

This comprehensive index of 100 different afterlife destinations was meticulously researched from sources ranging from the Epic of Gilgamesh to modern-day pop songs, video games, and Simpsons episodes. Get ready for whatever post-mortal destiny awaits you, whether it’s an astral plane, a Hieronymus Bosch hellscape, or the baseball diamond from Field of Dreams.

Fascinating, funny, and irreverent, this “gung-ho travel guide to Heaven, Hell, and beyond” (The New Yorker) will help you create your very own bucket list—for after you’ve kicked the bucket.

Ken Jennings is as fantastic as ever

Interesting premise that explores after death myths in a humorous while pretty educational way. Great narrative and narration

Whistling past the graveyard

A lighthearted look at the many absurd and weird takes on what happens when we die. Very clever writing and a good read, as you would expect from Ken Jennings. Best taken in small doses, like you might take in a podcast.

Hilarious and educational.

Admittedly, it's a bit long. Entertaining, without being offensive. Best for those who appreciate dry humor.

Ken Jennings Can Do Better

As a big fan of the only person who should host Jeopardy, I found this book mostly boring. It is a bad sign when you cannot wait for a book to end.

I suspect Ken has a better book in mind, and this one was for practice.

great listen!

I've been excited for this book for a while and I'm happy to say that it exceeded my expectations. ken did a great job at reading it. I enjoyed listening to his other book maphead but I think this is a lot better to listen to.
