A very interesting topic but I fear the writing and focus made the book a little bland. Less about the actual Body Farm and more about broad-view cases that Dr. Bass assisted with. I don't want to hear about insurance scams and mob-men named Fat Sam and Cadillac Joe, I want to hear more about forensics!

The musical interludes were odd, but otherwise I enjoyed Bass's journey.

Engaging, enjoyable read not only for the forensic anthropology, but for the glimpse into the author's life and how it has been shaped by the deaths of his loved ones.

I really wish this was a better book. I wanted it to be, and parts of it came close, but it wasn't at all what it claims to be. It is much less about the body farm, as the title suggests, than it is about the man who founded it, and I didn't go into it looking for a memoir. I went into it looking for science, but it was remarkably light on that. He didn't go very in-depth about what he can actually do and what his research has revealed. He only had a handful of techniques that he really talked about, and he repeated them over and over, to the point of insult. I'm capable of understanding a point the first time, but every time he'd mention one of these few techniques, he'd spell it out all over again, like the readers are children who can't remember what he told them two chapters ago. Very disappointing.

Was able to learn a lot from this book. Took lots of notes.
