Very interesting. Read this through several meals and am realizing how high my gore tolerance is. (Because boy is there a lot of it).  My favorite thing about Mary roach is that she makes nonfiction accessible. Her books are often narrative based, humorous, and lack the density that I find makes many nonfiction books hard to finish.

I really loved this book, but I had to skip over the parts about the dog surgery (that is putting it sooooooo mildly). I recommend it, and I think it educates a very overlooked part of our lives as humans.
