Written In Bone: Hidden Stories in What We Leave Behind by Sue Black

challenging dark informative slow-paced

3.0

Okay soo, I initially DNFed this one because I found myself growing bored and feeling bogged down by the more heady-science-y bits, but then about a week later, I found myself wanting to listen to the book again. 😅 SO I finished! I stand by my initial statement that the author reading her own work is fantastic, albeit it does sound a little like one long Ted Talk. Admittedly, this aspect actually worked for me. There are some really challenging anecdotes in here, and of course some light Copaganda sprinkled throughout, but that’s to be expected from a forensic scientists perspective. Overall, I learned about some of the ways our bodies tells the story of our life (and death). And I will never stop thinking about my teeth as the only (constantly) visible part of my skeleton.
