Quirky, readable yet very informative, and thoroughly entertaining throughout. Those who donate their organs and/or bodies to help others are treated with dignity and described as heroes; those who use those donations for research rarely fare as well. Given the subject matter, the humor is obviously a bit macabre and sometimes dark... but so very very dry; I loved this book!
