This book is mainly about death, entomology, some grave acts and a bit of psychology. Though it talks about disgusting and gory things, it does not deliver it in a gross way instead, it will make you look it up, then regret it for the rest of your life. Ehem, Texas body farm, ehem adipocere, ehem necrophilia in animal kingdom. I suggest just stick to the lack of depth and description the author gives, sometimes, ignorance is bliss. Another thing I love about this is that majority, if not, most of all her references are relevant and timely. Unlike other books that has references to as old as 1980 (like what am I supposed to do with a murder back in the 70s?), she gives examples from recent times. Also, I highly appreciate the examples and cases she gives because I get to learn a lot and discover new things. I'm out here in the middle of the night looking up how to build my own maggot farm. BTW, the first few parts is such a good introduction for a gory book. I started reading this at night and boi I closed the book and decided not to give myself nightmares. It was definitely intriguing and caught my attention, but fear took over me lol. The only thing I don't like about this book is the lack of gory details and topics. Yes, the topics are disgusting, because I have to look it up on Google and witness horrible photos on images, but if only the author described it in gory, I would definitely appreciate it. Some topics aren't even gory, they're just straight up crime, sweat and brain stuff. Anyway, I enjoyed this book, learned so much. Definitely thanked my parents for giving me a Pomeranian instead of a German Shepherd... if you know, you know...
