Shocked : adventures in bringing back the recently… di David J. Casarett
Enjoyable, not quite as madcap as Mary roach, but funny and educational. Warning , there is much to disturb animal lovers, experiments including animals are part of the history presented
Its a perfect book for what it is - a mystery book with interesting characters, an interesting crime, and fairly easy to read. Ladarat Patalung is a great character, she takes great pride in her role as Nurse Ethicist at a hospital in Chiang Mai and applies to her entire life. When she gets involved in a murder, she applies her ethics to her new role of detective.
While I liked the setting, I found the explanations of the different foods and aspects of Thai culture a bit overdone. This is a book written by a man in the US, for a US audience. While I enjoyed learning about Thai culture, it took away from the story.
As for the ending, it is exactly what you expected, no surprises, and everything gets wrapped up at the end.… (altro)

The history of resuscitation is much more fascinating than I imagined. The author writes this in the first person and enough humor to make a rather morbid topic very palatable. I found the information on general cryogenics rather boring and some of it cold have been pared down, however the other information was all interesting to me.
I haven’t read the first book in the series but happened to see this one and thought I’d give it a try. Could not get into main character, her main attribute seemed to be an obsession with food yet she is tiny(?) and can’t cook. Otherwise there wasn’t enough going on to keep my interest and did not finish. I kept feeling like it was too much like No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency in tone and turn of phrase.
