I got my mom this for her birthday. She liked it and said I should read it, so I borrowed it. Good book. It’s so interesting and for exactly the right reasons. The author simply wants to take a detailed look at what happens to bodies after the people are done with them. There’s rotting and the different ways to do it, as well as things that cadavers can be useful for, like vehicle safety tests and anatomy lab, or as fertilizer. To an extent, we each have a choice of what to do with our bodies once we’re dead, and the author seems to have a logical (and sensitive) perspective on the choices. She’s also way funny and just comfortable enough to make it not so weird to read about dead bodies.
