A review by czidya
Medieval Bodies: Life and Death in the Middle Ages by Jack Hartnell

informative lighthearted medium-paced

4.5

I'm really impressed with how Hartnell manages to keep a lighthearted tone that brims with curiosity while dumping huge quantities of information on serious, often shocking topics.
This made a really good audiobook - I felt like I was listening to a really good podcast series. I think it would have felt a lot more dry to read in print just because of how fact-heavy it is, but probably still worth reading.
