About this product

Product Information

In an attempt to find out what happens when people die, the author of "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" brings her tireless curiosity to bear on an array of contemporary and historical soul-searchers: scientists, schemers, engineers, mediums, all trying to prove (or disprove) that there is an afterlife.

Surreal, fascinating, at times absurd and always hilarious, Mary Roach may not reveal the street address of our final destination, but in Spook she makes it sound less like a morgue and more like a comedy club., The general reader's ideal emissary to the arcana of serious science. . . . Roach's writing has what science has so far failed to find: a divine spark., Funny and Smart... since She's a Scientist at Heart, She Also Lasers Through the Smoke and Mirrors., Reading Spook is like attending a lecture by a professor who is equal parts Groucho Marx and Stephen Jay Gould, both enlightening and entertaining., Investigative reporting has no lighter, more irreverent spirit than Mary Roach. . . . Spook is enormous fun., Dependably witty, especially when it ventures far into the ether. . . . [Roach] makes a clever investigator and a thoroughly entertaining, if skeptical, tour guide.

  • Disappointing Copy

    This book was posted as being new, so I confidently ordered it, certain of a positive experience. While it is tight, clean and unmarked there is an unacceptable degree of yellowing. The inside covers have the most discoloring, but the rest of the pages are distinctly ivory. If this is really a new copy, it has been stored badly. I have other books in this format by the same author that I've had for some years, and they are all nicely white. Sadly I plan to return it and continue my search for a nicer copy.

  • SPOOK

    This book is packed with interesting facts and witty humor. We're all interested in what may or may not happen to us when we die. Mary Roach makes her readers feel active in her search for discovery. She's an outstanding vector for the reader to find appreciation in the many beliefs of different people, cultures, and religions. I recommend this book, but not before you've read STIFF: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. STIFF was Roach's first book, which led her to further investigate the idea of the human afterlife. I recommend both of these, as they are seeping with knowledge and are truly hilarious. -Elizabeth Hardey Baton Rouge, LA
