Love, love, love this book. Such an interesting read and for those with a morbid fascination this is a must read. So many amazing things achieved by people’s donations.

You'd not think that a book about cadavers would be laugh-out-loud funny, but you'd be dead wrong. Roach has an easy, casual style of writing that is perfect for conveying this sometimes-grim information in a upbeat yet still respectful way. I was thoroughly entertained and I learned a lot. What more could you ask from a non-fiction book?

I love a good off-beat non-fic! This was so well-written. Very informative while still incredibly entertaining (hilarious at times) and respectful. I learned a ton! I only wonder about the "current" practices from the time of publication (two decades ago) and how much of that information is still valid now.

So fascinating!! Read this for book club and am so glad, definitely not a book I would typically pick out and it had it's fair share of ~gross~ details, but it was the perfect balance of educational/researchy and lightheartedness so it wasn't too dense.

The most lighthearted book you’ll read about cadavers.
