I REALLY enjoyed this book. To me, every page was interesting, maybe since I knew nothing about the "lives" of human cadavers. The book is packed with information and yet is as smooth and readable as any other bestseller. I'd really like to give it five stars, but there were a few things that I didn't enjoy. Many of the chapters included historical accounts of animal experimentation which were difficult for me to read. This isn't a flaw in the book, but just something that was distasteful to me personally. But I was also a little annoyed by the fact that Roach wasn't even close to being a neutral reporter. I felt like she pushed an anti-burial, anti-cremation agenda that was fueled by her own disdain for religion and tradition. That said, I enjoyed her voice very much for the most part. She was witty and casual throughout, never pedantic, and I found myself chuckling aloud at her dry, dark humor. Again, I liked this book a lot and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in anatomy, the history of medicine, or quirky trivia in general. Of course, it is a book about dead bodies and there is plenty that's cringe-worthy. Stiff is certainly not for the squeamish, but I liked it!

I didn't love Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers as much as some of the other Georgia books, but I think that's because it felt like a transition. Georgia is quite mixed up in her red bottomosity through the book, and it ends with a cliffhanger of sorts, so there wasn't much satisfaction as far as the story goes. It was, as always, laugh-out-loud funny at parts, and Georgia is the same old funny, lovable nutter. I just had a feeling of "AND THEN?" throughout the book.
