Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife

More about the soul, etc. than ghosts - bummer!

After reading and really enjoying Stiff, I was slightly disappointed with Spook. She repeats herself between the books and doesn't seem as interested in this subject as with actual corpses. I prefer this subject over the other so maybe I'm a little biased and over-informed to really enjoy this book (I didn't learn nearly as much as I did from Stiff) but I would still recommend this to people interested in the subject, especially if they're looking for a sort of starter read. I still enjoy Roach's writing style and distinct voice, though.

It was more generous to the crackpots than I would have been. It ends really strong. I got more out of Packing for Mars.
