Loved the book, very informative and interesting. Listen to the audio book with the author narrating it and found her voice very soothing.

So interesting!! Sue Black just made me regret dropping my biology major... :') The only thing I would change about this book would be the sections about her personal life, honestly I only cared about the aspects of the job and I wish there had been even more scientific stuff in this.

avidreaderandgeekgirl's review against another edition

challenging informative reflective fast-paced

4.75

   A mix of memoir and science about death and our relationship with it.
   I think I came at this from a unique perspective of having come close to death, medically, multiple times, and not having a fear of dying/being dead. The only part of death I fear is the potential pain before the actual event.
   The author said a lot I agree with, like how we should focus on having a good life while we're here and not focus so much on how long we live, but on the quality of it.
   Also, this book inspired me to finally request the paperwork to donate my body to science, which I've been planning to do, but haven't gotten around to. Which I encourage anyone to do if they can't/don't want to be an organ donor.
   Overall it was an excellent book and I learned a lot. It had a bit of true crime but was more of a memoir and science book.

Narrator Rating: 4.5 stars
  The narrator was good if a bit dry. But it was appropriate for the subject matter.

Extra ratings:  Fluff-NA    Heartfelt-4.5/5   Helpful-3/5    Horror-NA    Inspiration-1/5    Love aka Romance-NA     Mystery-NA    Predictability-NA     Spice-NA     Suspense-NA    Tear-4/5   Thrill-NA     Humor-0.5/5

I LOVED the first half of this book. However, the 2nd half of this book seemed to drag on and on. Just too much politic talk for me which took away from the charm and the interesting stories the author drew me in with to begin with.
