The Body: A Guide For Occupants

The Body: A Guide for Occupants by Bill Bryson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


*** Possible Spoilers ***

The author made a fairly dry subject quite interesting - a little depressing maybe when one things of all the things which can go wrong - but interesting nonetheless. In addition to discussing the various structures, systems and processes occurring on a regular basis, he delved into the history of various medical practices, knowledge acquisition and cures. This is, however, a very long book and I recommend getting the audio version so the reader can rattle on while you do other things.
