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.

"All That Remains" not only takes a look at Black's own experiences with death but also highlights several cases in the U.K. that readers across the pond may not be so famaliar with. She gives anonimity where it makes sense, to make sure families are not subjected to more distress and I really wish more people in the true crime area would stop and think "do I need to name this case? Do I need to bring up this traumatic occurence back to light? Is there any benefit beyond giving me clout by highlighting this case?" The fact that she's actively still trying to help solve John and Jane Doe cases via this book should be commended.
I definitely recommend checking out your local universities and seeing if they take eligible corpses for dissection. Despite only being 27, I am looking into it now and if I qualify.
