Using the most common postmortem process as the backbone of the narrative, The Chick and the Dead takes the listener through the process of an autopsy while also describing the history and changing cultures of our relationship with the dead. The book is full of vivid insight into what happens to our bodies in the end. Each chapter considers an aspect of an autopsy alongside an aspect of Carla's own life and work and touches on some of the more controversial aspects of our feelings toward death.

Though I technically did not finish this audio book into its entirety, I did enjoy it for what it was. I had cancelled my Audible account, I unfortunately did not use it as much as I thought I would and was wasting money each month on the subscription.
Though I still have the book in my library and I stopped at Chapter 9 I may or may not be picking up on any of my audio books for a while.
I thought the stories contained in the pages here were very interesting. Learning about the laws and process of mortuary work in the UK was eye opening. Another book on death that is not for the faint of heart. With vivid descriptions of decomposition and the process of working on a corpse, no holds bard.
One of the reasons I may not choose to finish the book in the audio book form or even physical form, is to my own dismay...I feel as though the author's lighthearted sense of humor does not hit well with some of her stories and comes off more...disingenuous and cold towards some of the people she had worked with and on.
I guess, I am just not a huge fan of the person here. But either way, if you're a death curious person...I would suggest this as a listen whilst working.
