Informative.
I liked that the book contained its fair share of humor, in spite of the subject matter.

Fascinating look at what bodies are used for after they die. For some reason reminded me of reading about Madame Tussaud even before the part of reattaching heads after the guillotine.

I had to take a break in the middle because the topic was starting to get to me but I came back to it. I found it riveting, though.
