Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

I really enjoyed this book. The author has such a unique writing style that kept me entertained and engaged, even when discussing some heavy and dark topics. I really enjoyed the mix of modern topics and historical review. I get the hype about this author now!

Whipped through it listening too the audiobook along with it while on a plane. Each chapter is a different way that cadavers are used so it’s super easy to breeze through it and want to learn about the next topic. Very good for the morbidly curious and the author asked a lot of questions when interviewing that I would ask too. Narrator Shelly Frasier on Spotify is great.

USE THE WORD MAGGOT, MARY. WE CAN HANDLE IT.

Science. I love it.
This answered a lot of questions and inspired a bunch more.
I'm itching to further deep dive.

You'd not think that a book about cadavers would be laugh-out-loud funny, but you'd be dead wrong. Roach has an easy, casual style of writing that is perfect for conveying this sometimes-grim information in a upbeat yet still respectful way. I was thoroughly entertained and I learned a lot. What more could you ask from a non-fiction book?
