Helpful Score: 1

I got about 3/4 of the way through this book and just couldn't read it anymore. Besides the human cadavers, there was a lot of detail about the use of animal cadavers (sometimes even live animals) and I just couldn't deal with it. While there is a comical lilt to some of Mary Roach's stories, there certainly wasn't enough to glue me to this book. I'd say, interesting but not for the squeamish.
