Book Reviews of Body of Work: Meditations on Mortality from the Human Anatomy Lab
Book Review: I was almost EMBARASSED!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was almost EMBARASSED to let people see me buying this book! I was somehow afraid people would think me odd, gross, macabre, etc. However, as soon as I began reading the book I was taken in, and almost couldn't put it down! I am recommending this book to everyone I know. It is an amazing, eye-opening, gentle view of "life" after death, as in what happens to our bodies and what goes on in the minds of those who are still living. This is an excellent book for anybody interested in medicine, life, human nature, death, the body, you NAME IT! EXCELLENT BOOK!
Summary of Body of Work: Meditations on Mortality from the Human Anatomy Lab
This is a hauntingly moving memoir of the relationship between a cadaver named Eve and the first-year medical student who cuts her open. Christine Montross brings an uncommon perspective to the emotional difficulty of the first year of medical school, and her disturbing, often entertaining anecdotes enrich this exquisitely crafted memoir, endowing an eerie beauty to the world of a doctor-in-training.Biographies & Memoirs Books
