A really interesting book, about a subject that, I think, we are all secretly interested in: what happens to us when we die? Not the spiritual, is-there-an-afterlife subject, but the other side of it. When we die, we're essentially just meat.
But what happens to it?
It's an interesting look at it, and Roach treats the subject with a great deal of respect, and the black humour that one would expect from somebody researching decomposition and funerary rites.
My only complaint about it is that she kind of strays from her core topic in places. Yes, she talks about human remains the whole time, but not in the way that she states she is going to, and stops talking about cadavers themselves, and more about how the living deal with them.
Still, it is a good read, and I recommend it highly.

Just wasn't vibing with this book, figured I'll return it early for others to read instead. This book wasn't as funny as it made itself out to be. Full of very unfunny, "hur hur I'm so silly XD" quips and snide remarks that I didn't enjoy at all.

This book answers questions I'd never have thought to ask about dead bodies. Yes, there were some passages that made me queasy and/or horrified--the chapter about experiments in head transplantation comes to mind--but the tone throughout is light and acknowledges our discomfort with the subject.
