Review of 'Stiff' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

I really enjoy Roach's writing style. I read one of her newer ones recently, and think I actually prefer the older stuff. There was something so gloriously irreverent about this book. I loved it. Gross and disturbing, but made me think a little more seriously about what will happen to my body after I die. Very interesting (lame description, but true. It was compelling). Side note-don't read this if you're squeamish.
