I freaking hate writing reviews on my phone, so this will be short. Roach is great, her writing is always entertaining. This seemed shorter than her other books, and I wish there had been a bit more depth in some chapters. Also there were some tone issues: her style is so irreverent, the times she got on the morality of war and philosophy of death didn't sit great with me. Stiff is still my fav. This one's on par with Spook in that they're my least favourite, but I'd read a least favourite Roach book before I'd read a great many other things. Lastly, I'm not sure if she did it on purpose or if it just turned out that way, but I appreciated how many scientists and army members she profiled were women, especially given the subject matter. Looking forward to waiting an extra year for the soft cover version of the next one to come out!
