A good book with a very fun writing style! Some of the jokes didn't quite land with me, but that's just personal taste. Be warned, there is a lot of child death/miscarriage talk in sections of the book both as part of the authors life and as part of the nature of the book.
Overall a great read! Certainly staying in my little death reading list!

This book is a book about dead bodies, their dissection and the authors own life with it - it has a lot of potentially upsetting content about suicide victims, child death, natural decay, etc. Please read with caution if you're sensitive to any of these potential things!!
