Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach

2.0

informative medium-paced

I learned a lot of interesting things from this book but ultimately, I would have preferred to read the wikipedia articles about the topic of each chapter over reading this. Usually I love when the author in non-fiction has a really strong voice because I think it keeps in interesting, but in this case the author consistently rubbed me the wrong way. Her level of irreverence about those who donate their bodies, despite being repeatedly faced with professionals who emphasize the importance of respect, ruined this book for me.
