I’ve been meaning to read Stiff for quite a few years. I kept trying and giving up. So when one of my book clubs picked it, I decided it was time. Like Henrietta Lacks, I got the audio tapes and decided to give it one more go.
It could be that the reader wasn’t that great or that the subjectmatter was just too morose for me (especially after three consecutive books on death) but I just couldn’t get into it.
Yes there were funny parts and interesting parts but I still didn’t love it as much as so many people seem to. I’m sure it’s me. I have been known to not love books others seem to adore.
So I cannot recommend or not-recommend this one. Try it and see how you feel.
