Stiff by Mary Roach

Hello my lovely readers! 

Two years ago, coincidentally around this time, I DNF'd this book because I wasn't in the headspace for it. You can read that "review" here.

I decided to give it another shot and I'm glad I did! Let's get into it.

SYNPOSIS
Cadavers have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings from France's first guillotines to helping solve the mystery of TWA Flight 800.

For every new surgical procedure, cadavers have helped make history. Stiff investigates the strange lives of our bodies postmortem and answers the question: What should we do after we die?

MY THOUGHTS
The last question I asked in the previous review of this book was "Maybe I'll pick it up later?"

Thankfully, I decided to re-read this book because I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. Roach was informative yet funny so it made for a quick and easy read. As someone who is interested in the morbidity of life as well as death and dying, this book was right up my alley.

This book was engaging and I did appreciate how Roach inserted herself into this book, which is something I'm usually not a fan of unless done right.  I'd highly recommend this book to anyone curious about what happens to bodies after death if they're donated to science.

Personally, I'm an organ donor and would like to be cremated with a nice memorial service.
