Weird subject for sure but certainly interesting. I liked learning about different ways cadavers are used and have been used in the past. It was shocking at times but always interesting. I would like to read other books by the author now.

Montross reflects on her time as a medical student in the dissection lab with three other students and their cadaver subject, whom they dub Eve. She goes into class unsure what her feelings and reactions will be, and I thought beautifully combined her personal experience with the history of human anatomy study and anecdotes from her life.

I know it‘s very niche, but great book if you‘re interested in the subject.

Morbid? Yes. Reality? Yes, inevitable. Mary Roach is always entertaining but well researched.

Part memoir, part poetic and historical inquiry into the uneasy relationship humans have had with teaching cadavers, the author writes about her first-year medical school course in gross anatomy, where she is paired with a female cadaver she names “Eve.“ The author's ensuing semester-long dissection of Eve cements her respect and gratitude to Eve as “mentor:“ an apt title for a woman whose donated body has enriched the education of many doctors.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

I borrowed this from a coworker. I really enjoyed the first half of the book. Learning about the way we use deceased bodies for medical research was fascinating. The last half of the book was not so interesting to me. Maybe I was just tired of reading about death, who knows. I did not like the chapter on medical experimentation with animals, trying to determine how long the head could live without a body.

Reggie I want to be freeze dried and shaken apart and given to family for compost after I die because of this book. Lol (edited) 14mo

Where my morbidly curious readers at? This one's for you. Ever wonder what happens to corpses after death? From anatomy labs and cadaver farms, Mary Roach explores the uses the human body can be put to even after death. And now I know the safest place to sit on an airplane to boot!

stevesbookstuf1 I have looked at this one so many times but still haven't read it. But one day I will! :) 1y
