Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

by volume, this book is about 3/4 interesting reading, and about 1/4 really awful dad-jokes. I understand that it is common to joke when talking about "uncomfortable" subjects, but this is just a waste of space. She literally tells bad jokes about the fact that some anatomy students tell bad jokes. She will, in the middle of a paragraph which is setting up the punchline for a bad joke, include tangential dumb one-liners.

But I did learn some stuff, so I'm giving this book three stars for being basically ok(ish)
