This is a really fascinating look at how scientists and doctors have used dead bodies both in history and present day. It's a bit graphic and gross at times, so maybe give this a pass if you're a squeamish person, but I enjoyed it so much. It was just so interesting. Like it was great information to learn in general, but Roach had such a great storytelling style. The book was as much about her interviews and own experiences as it was the bodies themselves. I'd highly recommend.

The one thing I did struggle with a lot was the discussion of animal experimentation. That was difficult for me. While I don't mind the dead body stuff because, you know, they're dead and can't suffer, the live animals being horrifically experimented on could. And there was a fair amount of that. But it's still worth the read.
