Light read
A dark subject but a light read. This is a rambling thought stream from the author that is initially an easy, delightful, disgusting, laugh out loud read but as the book goes on it gets a little tired as the author hits the obvious jokes and the subject matter takes a back seat. That said as a palate cleansing read it is interesting and a little thought provoking certainly as an advert that actually cadaver donation is important and the other options aren't as we might consider them. It's worth a read but a did-not-finish wouldn't be a massive shame.

Not for the faint hearted
A matter of fact, detailed description on death and the human body. Highly informative, interesting and a little bit gruesome in places...
