Have you read: "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers"?

I am thinking of getting this book. Has anyone read it? What did you think about it?
Anything interesting to share what you read in it?

The book is by Mary Roach. I heard it was funny and entertaining, which I find surprising for such a title.

Thank you.

Thats what I was thinking too. But I read a few reviews and thats what everyone was saying. I’ve decided to get it from the library, will post what I think of it. smile

Its very interesting, gory and educational..

the subject is not the most pleasant thing you can think of but its very well written and the humour is great....

it couldve been written in a darker style or in a boring informative way but this way you dont feel so repelled by what you are reading.

Its not the kind of book Id buy purely becaue if its seen on your bookshelf can get you a few wierd looks, so getting it from the library is a better idea...
its the kind of book you read once and then forget about until someone brings the subject up.
