Read this if you are curious but don't get queasy reading about dead bodies, organs, etc. The footnotes are hilarious "...Every Spanish love song that contains the word corazon, which is all of them, would contain the somewhat less lilting higado..."

I loved this book. I really enjoyed the several topics that were offered up to me, that she didn't just stick to this is what happens to you when you die but this is what could happen to you and theses are your options. But I was disappointed that I actually knew some of the facts that this book presented. I was hopping for it to be a more knowledgeable experience.
