Wonderful book. Just finished reading it and it was a real emotional journey. I just went through the death of my grandmother and it has left a lasting mark on me. The book was at times disturbing, but also cathardic. It certainly makes you take a journey with author- emotionally, spiritually and physically. Montross convied her emotions through smooth prose. She makes you live the book.

i completely understand, colin. i can only imagine what a profound impression that crematorium experience had on your thoughts about life and death. your story was powerful, but i know that experiencing it first hand was something that words can’t capture.

This sounds like an interesting book and one that might translate into words my thoughts on the subject of life and death after my crematorium experience that I wrote about. I would like to read her thoughts, but I don’t know if I could read it though, I can still smell the smell of human death when I think about the crematorium (like right now) and see some of the human anatomy melting away, and don’t know if I want to go through it again via reading this book.

I love the passage. Very poetic and emotional.

yes, the subject matter was graphic and somewhat disturbing (though necessary) at times — it’s definitely not a book for the faint of heart!

I saw a review of this book in magazine, sounds good, but I’m not sure if I’m up to reading about the subject matter:)
