Before getting this book, I read a couple of great reviews. They were all right on the money. Stiff by Mary Roach is an engaging read about what happens to human cadavers. Mary Roach takes the reader through the testing of bullets on cadavers for the government, how important it is to donate your body after death,why it is important for medical students to work on human cadavers, experiments that were done on the dead for the sake of religion... Mary Roach is such a great writer and makes every chapter a chapter of interest. I recommend it to everyone.
