An interesting and informative read. Not what I was expecting, but I’m glad I read this one. So much unusual information.

This was very interesting, as someone who sometimes works with the deceased some of it was what I know already. I appreciate the humor in this and I feel like it makes death a little less scary and makes you think of what you what to have happen to your body when you pass. Thankfully people donate their bodies to science so we can learn.

I thought this was just a writing research book for me so that I could better understand the stages of body decomposition. But Mary Roach wrote this, so I loved it because of its charm, humour, and heart despite the subject matter. Her writing subtly guides us into spiritual thinking about the connection between our bodies and souls as a tool to gauge how we feel about that subject. I really liked this.

Mary does a great job making a morbid topic hilarious and enjoyable. Lot's of interesting stuff that I didn't know. It's obvious that she's done a ton of research.
