Booklist Review: "Sludge, wastewater, and cesspool are a few of the putrescent terms introduced by this informative entry in the Story of Sanitation series (4 titles). So, what does happen to the dirty water that disappears down toilets and drains? Flynn adopts a playful but knowledgeable tone as he walks readers through a quick history of waste disposal and sanitation practices (or the lack thereof we're looking at you, medieval Europe), from early sewers in Pakistan that never quite caught on to chamber pots and cesspools to flushing toilets and modern sewage treatment. A helpful breakdown of the five-step cleaning process, clearly illustrated with diagrams and photos, demystifies not only how wastewater is purified but why. Without becoming glib or overly reliant on gross-out humor, this book expertly filters its facts and fun.--Julia Smith Copyright 2018 Booklist"
