Extremely interesting.

This is the hundredth time I've heard about this book. Do you think it's a signal? :P Tell me - is it too... graphic?
EDIT: is this the book where they tell about the time a few men opened Lord Byron's coffin to see him? I read that extract and found it so "funny". But I don't know if it belongs here  |
I don't recall them opening a coffin to just see someone. It does go into detail of how it was a form of income for some people to dig up graves and take the bodies to sell to universities or other doctors to perform research on.
It is graphic, but it is also funny. It makes you think a lot and it is nauseating at times, but still well worth it to read
Soooooo many things I didn't know what happend to a cadaver
