    <body><![CDATA[This book highlights Dr. Bill Bass's life and the creation of The Body Farm. Some of the cases Bass has consulted on are detailed, sometimes with too much detail. This book is not for those who have a weak stomach.<br/><br/>What is very interesting is how forensic anthropology has progressed over ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25025100">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I find forensic anthropology absolutely fascinating (it's the one of the few sciences I &quot;get&quot;), and I found Death's Acre to be a good read because of it: Not dumbed down, but explanatory and easy to follow while still being interesting and a book from which I learned a few things about for...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57066611">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was amazingly easy to read, considering the amount of information that it contains.  The tone was generaly light and very personable, even in the midst of some pretty grisly situations.  It was absolutely fascinating to read about a very important pioneer in forensics, and from his point of vie...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70209398">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Bill Bass has lead an amazing life.  I thought he wove the tales of his professional and personal life beautifully in this book.  I found the stories of his forensic career fascinating and used some of the information in my own fictional tale of a serial killer.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The stories in the book were extremely interesting, but I felt the author/narrator's voice often intruded too much into the stories, which I found distracting and detrimental overall. Maybe I was looking for something more science-y?]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love Dr. Bass and find his work so fascinating. As a student at the University of TN, I feel very honored to have been a part of a school that funds a program such as the Body Farm. Even though Dr. Bass retired from teaching a couple of years before I enrolled in the Anthropology, I had the opport...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6496424">more...</a>]]></body>
