This book is wonderfully weird and educational, while being hilarious at the same time. Not for those with queasy stomachs or uptight views on human remains.

A fluffy nonfiction with agreeably gory details of what happens to dead bodies, either by design or by human intervention. A good car book, with short segments that passengers can appreciate and never too distracting for the driver. Reminds me to keep my organ donor card up to date.

This book was very entertaining and light. It was interesting to see how she made this grotesque subject into something that was enjoyable.
