Well done, with a few well chosen illustrations, and in her edgy style. Some may find parts of it disgusting but she begins with her first encounter with a human cadaver--she and her brother at the mortuary to have their mom buried.
No wishes, so I will but it from the library sale shelf for two bits and send it to the shelf of the old soldiers and sailors' home to cheer up the inmates! [Unfortunately, after I have sent it there I find that up to 23 wishes are outstanding for a paperback edition, as well as a few for other editions, but these did not show up for my copy when I originally wrote this brief review. Too bad.]
I note that this was on the shelf at this branch library for fifteen years and is well worn--most of the interest of the customers here is for videos, illustrated manga style fiction, and computer time--so it had many readers and was not discarded after two or three years as many books here are.
Bibliography, no index.
