S U s_u_n_d_a_z_e — This was the first Mary Roach book I read, but now I'm interested in picking up some of her other nonfiction. Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers was very informative and covered a vast number of topics having to do with what happens to human bodies after death: she tours a "body farm", where scientists study rates of decomposition in various environments, sits in on a plastic surgery class where students practice procedures on severed heads, and visits an automotive testing facility where cadavers are used when crash test dummies aren't enough to provide reliable data, among others. She also explores the history of body-snatching as well as "cannibalism" in early eastern medicine and the modern western world (such as the trend of new mothers eating placenta for the purported health benefits). There are some serious gross-out sections, of course. I have a very strong stomach, but there were moments when I sat up and went "Ew, ew, ew!" In addition to being informative and easily understandable by the layperson, Roach tackles the subject matter with humor while still maintaining respect for the dead - a difficult undertaking. For the most part, I appreciated the humor, as it made what could potentially be a depressing and academic text into quite a light read, but at times it felt like the jokes were a bit forced. She was like that girl at the party who just keeps cracking jokes, with less material each time - the first few are funny, but then it gets grating. You shouldn't have to keep reassuring your readers that you are, in fact, funny. We get it. And don't even get me started on the number of times she referred to herself as "quirky" or similar. Despite that, I enjoyed this book quite a bit and will definitely read more of the author's work.

Sebastian Camargo sebastianpublic — There was a big controversy over this book when I worked at B&N, the parents of a local town were mad it was on the reading lists for the summer and yet I can't help but think so many parents and kids need to read this. The victims of these school attacks are not the only victims, often the attackers have been bullied for quite some time and nobody listened. This book gives the voices of all involved leading up to the fateful day.

Claudio Pinto cayo548 — I don't get the fuss about this book. I like Mo Willem's work, but this one leaves me cold.

Devin Obryant hex956957a4e — Slooow... and too much theology for my taste.

Raphael Costa raphaelcostaa — I loved this story for its beautiful uncovering of what really matters in life. It is a journey that we all can learn from. I found out for myself that all challenges can be opportunities for growth. I need to purchase this book for the constant reminders it feeds me.
