Stiff (Chunk 1 of 3)
In the first part of Mary Roach's book, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, I managed to read the first three chapters (pages 1- 84). Overall I'm finding this book very enjoyable yet informative. Roach's hilarious approach to such goury topics keeps you wanting to read more and more, and then as you stop; the history behind it hits you! Each chapters give an indepth analysis of a different topic relative to cadavers. She uses first hand account from her following of cadavers & surgeons, which I think is extremely important because it just makes you feel like your there for example, " If you lower your head to within a foot or two of an infested corpse (and I truly don't recommend), you can hear them feeding. Arpad pinpoints the sound: 'Rice Krispies.' Ron frown. Ron used to like Rice Krispies. (page 68)"
Okay- Darryn- I like what you have done to your blog-and I really love the song-- what is it called "Cheers in My Pants?". NEvertheless, your entry does not follow the requirements--be more specific. Don't give a book review. What is the point (argument/enabling assumption) of the first chunk of text? Perhaps you should re-read the precis sample on the goldenrod paper. P.S. SInce I am reading this book too, don't be surprised if I am a frewuent visitor. Need help- email me or visit my blog. Ms. G
