I didn't mind the book, it's how the author sounds I can't stand. He sounds like an asshole. Half the book was about him and I wasn't looking to ever read about this man. He digresses often, explaining simple concepts, like is reader is stupid. Then, he'll go off on a story that has nothing to do with crime scene clean up.
Have you ever wondered what happens to a grisly crime scene once the body(ies) are removed? It never occurred to me to be curious about it, but I stumbled upon this book on Overdrive one night when I was looking for an ebook and figured what the heck.
Gil Reavill hooks up with the bioremediation teams at Aftermath, Inc. The technicians, for a hefty fee, will come in after a death and clean up. This is especially necessary after bodies have begun to decompose or after death by gunshot blast, which seemed to be the majority of cases based on what I read.
This is likely the most graphic book I have ever read. Not much gets to me, but there were a few times during this book, especially when Reavill starts talking about a three week decomp in the middle of a sweltering July, that I started to feel a little panicked and grossed out.
This is a great book for readers of true crime. You get a lot of little death vignettes along with some fun, random facts (Reavill is great for that), and some death science. It was a good, quick read.

i really liked this book, from start to finish. it is horrible and fascinating like a train wreck, even though you can totally tell that it's written by a magazine columnist. i kind of like that he got himself personally involved with the story, i don't think the book would have been as good if it were just based on interviews and photographs and things. it really dragged in the last chapter or so, at which point i was SO over caring about this guy's wife and kid and whatever, but it was still a pretty good book. it's good for a really long boring car ride or something.
