Stiff
Review:
As weird as the book gets, Roach manages to convey a sense of respect and appreciation for her subjects.--Roy Rivenburg (06/01/2003)
This quirky, funny read offers perspective and insight about life, death and the medical profession.... You can close this book with an appreciation of the miracle that the human body really is.--Tara Parker-Pope
Acutely entertaining, morbidly fascinating.--Susan Adams
Roach is authoritative, endlessly curious and drolly funny. Her research is scrupulous and winningly presented.-- (05/11/2003)
Roach writes in an insouciant style and displays her métier in tangents about bizarre incidents in pathological history. Death may have the last laugh, but, in the meantime, Roach finds merriment in the macabre.-- (03/15/2003)
A laugh-out-loud funny book... one of those wonderful books that offers up enlightenment in the guise of entertainment.-- (08/17/2003)
Mary Roach is one of an endangered species: a science writer with a sense of humor. She is able to make macabre funny without looting death of its dignity.-- (05/11/2003)
