A great indepth look in a pathologists life
I picked this one up cause I had seen it around a lot and thought it was similar to This Is Going To Hurt by Adam Kay. Same genre (medical), TOTALLY DIFFERENT!
This is a non fiction book with an indepth look in to the life/work of a Pathologist and I when I say indepth I mean it. Parts are very descriptive, Stomach turning. It will take you on a real life journey to many post mortems from babies to the elderly and all in between. Which may be an unpleasant and an unsuitable read for some readers.
However, it is an eye opening read, I learnt a lot from this book. It contains some of the worlds biggest terror attacks and devastating incidents. We get a good glimpse into what happens after death, how they reach verdicts and how pathologists conduct their work. It is brutally honest and fascinating. A real page turner and brilliantly written.
I awarded a well deserved four stars and would highly recommend to you all.

My favourite book this year!!
Another book that deserves more than 5 stars. I loved this - a book that I thought about constantly, even when I wasn't reading it. The story of Cyril Avery's life, from the moment his mother is ejected from the village church and the village itself, up until near his death. An absolutely wonderful story. I laughed (a lot), I cried.
Highly recommended!!!

This is a fantastic app for book readers. I love being able open Goodreads when i am at the library and find out what books I have on my to read list. I sometimes have an issue where if i mark a book at read without marking at currently reading first then it doesn't register as read, therefore it won't add to my total of books read.

I absolutely loved the plot and flow of this story. The character of Hal was well developed and pretty much what I wanted to be like in my younger days.(Yes, I dreamed of sword fights. I was a weird kid.) There was a certain amout of predictablility to some aspects of the story but it took nothing away. I will be reading the second book (Hannac).

I really enjoyed how ronnie helps keith.. i loved how keith didnt figure it out until later and that he was surprisingly ok with it all. I did figure it out a lot earlier which isn't unusual. It was a very cute, sweet and romantic story with some very sexy scenes and fun characters. I am so glad I got to review it because it was adorable.

I am not a big reader of dystopia novels, science fiction or fantasy. I am unsure where this goes, but I don't care. This has to be one of my favorite books of 2018. Neal Schusterman does a great job of developing the story, but also the characters. I would highly recommend this story to others. I can't wait to read the second book in the series.

I enjoyed reading other books by this author but this one felt like the book started in the middle of a story without a lot of needed backstory. I knew the characters from previous books but I didn't read the one just before this.
The mystery was enjoyable but I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the book just before this one.
