More Mary Roach

What can I say about Mary Roach and her book "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers"? I loved it! As usual Roach takes a topic and runs with it into directions unknown. She goes beyond the funeral home and cremations and discusses some of the other interesting jobs held by dead bodies. The first chapter just pulled me in, I love how she picks some of the most unusual pieces and places them at the beginning of her books. I don't want to give too much away, all I can say is how do doctors practice facelifts?

I understand that sometimes readers are bothered when Roach goes a little off topic, but I really enjoy it because her writing is so conversational if she were to stick to the topic the entire time it would get a little boring.

I totally recommend this book! If you are interested in reading "Stiff" by Mary Roach you can find it at your local library or at Barnes and Noble.
