Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

4.5/5 stars

This is not a book for everyone. As mentioned by the author, a lot of people will find this book disrespectful. Especially due to the humorous approach the author decides to take. Some jokes were funny, others were a miss. Although I liked that the jokes didn't seem to overshadow the rest of the book. I also liked how it was clear how much research the author had put into the book. Even though this book was written in 2003, a lot of the information is still very relevant today.

I would hesitantly recommend this book because, while I can handle heavy topics such as depth, not a lot of people can. Some chapters can go into quite a bit of detail about how the procedures are done and what happens to the human body after certain things happen to it.
