Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

Not the book I wanted it to be. I heard funny. I heard informative. I heard compelling. I got a book I couldn't wait to put down and I don't think I cracked a grin even once. To my knowledge, it wasn't ever inaccurate but Roach's conversational writing tone was jarring at times and her tangents made it hard to care what she was going to cover next. Of course, I read it shortly after reading Christine Quigley's The Corpse: A History which actually was brilliant so I might've put the bar a little high.
