Short review: I did not like this as much as I liked her previous book Bonk. But then Bonk was about sex, and frankly sex is more interesting than dead bodies. There are quite a few times when the gross factor was really high. After reading a second book by Mary Roach I appreciate her organizational style more. She seems unstructured, but I think it is a style not a reality. I will pick up more of her books.
