I bought it after thorougly enjoying [b:How We Die: Reflections on Life's Final Chapter|49286|How We Die Reflections on Life's Final Chapter|Sherwin B. Nuland|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320545680s/49286.jpg|1299474], and I don't think this "sequel" is as good, but it is still very enjoyable. You are served a lighthanded overview in anatomy and physiology which is informative while being entartaining - you have less of the drama of [b:How We Die: Reflections on Life's Final Chapter|49286|How We Die Reflections on Life's Final Chapter|Sherwin B. Nuland|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320545680s/49286.jpg|1299474], though, so, gross at the next statement may seem, it is less of a page turner. ( )
