Extremely fascinating and interesting.... at first. Around the 5th hour or so I started to get bored. It was written well so no complaints there. I guess it was just about 100 pages longer than my interest in cadavers was.

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.
