   Sorry to say the product did not arrive in fantastic condition and was not like new. The limits of the book are frayed (bigtime)and some of the pages are crincled. This book was suppose to replace one that I had borrowed but lost in a car manufacturing accident. I was trying to save some money but it looks like I’m going to spend more since I’m going to have to buy a new one.

   Overall did not reflect the book was amusing. A few cute one liners but not much else. Was honestly well researched, but do you really want to know this stuff,even for a laugh?

   The title tells it all……..you will be bored STIFF! Not very entertaining and small information that you haven’t already seen on the History Channel. I had looked forwards to this book and was disappointed.

   This book’s title suggests an appealing read, but I promise if you know anything about forensic pathology, this book is incredibly dull. If you watch TV shows like CSI and reflect you know about forensic pathology, you probably would like this book. I work in a forensic pathology department and I establish this book hard to read, as the leader veers off topic reasonably a bit. I establish myself skipping entire sections (especially when she goes into talking about ballistics gel for what seemed like eternity). If you have a privileged level of education, I recommend reading some of the books she uses in her bibilography. I establish this book was written for a name who knew absolutely nothing about decendents. I recommend reading Death’s Acre if you would like a more professional description. Most of the material in Stiff is all-purpose knowledge to people who have a background in pathology and anatomy. I establish this book reasonably dull.

   The book starts appealing enough. But, past the first three chapters the book is long, dull and not enlightening for most individuals of the medical profession. I would not waste time reading this one.
