Helpful Score: 5

This was an excellent, fascinating book, though clearly not for everyone. As the summary describes, it is a book about the many potential uses for our bodies once we die. Mary Roach writes with both respect for the bodies and their previous owners and a great deal of humor. It's a fantastic combination that kept me coming back for more, and got me through some of the more graphic descriptions and unpleasant mental images. I would definitely recommend this book to all who are interested in science or even mildly curious about the lives of cadavers.
