Featured on my 2014 favourites list!Actual Rating 4.5
I like reading a wide variety of books. Fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, young adult, biographies, science, history... You name it!
But there’s no denying that some are a lot easier to read than others.
While I love reading about people’s lives and absorbing facts, I’d be kidding myself if I thought those books took the same amount of time or effort as a well written novel. No matter how well written said non-fiction book is in and of itself.
Working Stiff was different.
It could be the fact that I always wanted to get into forensics, or my own morbid fascination with the things people do to one another. It could be that it was written in a way that is accessible to the layperson, and that the grouping similar manners of death led to fewer chapters and a very smooth read. Whatever the cause, I devoured this book!
