Jessica R. (jradkephotography) reviewed Interesting Read for Organ Donors on 2/26/2009

Helpful Score: 1

While at times Stiff turned my stomach, I found myself wanting more! Not that it was the kind of book that couldn't be put down, but I always found it to pull me back in. Each chapter is based on a different 'life' of the human corpse and it was so interesting to find some of the uses for organ donors (ex:crash test dummies) and the history in which medical cadavers were first brought about.

Most of the details in Stiff are so well written that you have a hard time getting the images out of your head. This being said, I wouldn't recommend this book for people who get light headed at the mention of blood or fecal matter. Needless to say, this is NOT a book to read on your lunch hour!
