As a medical fan I delight in the strange and oftentimes oddly hilarious stories of the human cadaver in this book. Roach writes from the non-medical, journalist point-of-view and it leads to a wonderful writing style that is relatable to the medical community and those who have no medical background at all. While this book is going on 20 years it still has often unknown and strange stories and studies of the lives of those who chose to donate their bodies to science. If your interested in medical science or even interested in death "Stiff" is an exceptional book and Roaches style is sure to be enjoyable for anyone.
