Dame Sue Black is an internationally renowned forensic anthropologist and human anatomist. She has lived her life eye to eye with the Grim Reaper, and she writes vividly about it in this book, which is part primer on the basics of identifying human remains, part frank memoir of a woman whose first paying job as a schoolgirl was to apprentice in a butcher shop, and part no-nonsense but deeply humane introduction to the reality of death in our lives. It is a treat for CSI junkies, murder mystery and thriller fans, and anyone seeking a clear-eyed guide to a subject that touches us all.

I wanted a science book about forensics. I got a mostly-memoir instead.

An amazing life though was slow to get going
Revisado: 01-12-22
it was a good book though I wouldn't read it again necessarily. the last 1/2 was great and really highlighted her accomplishments and the importance of thinking outside the box. the begging was slow and the writer came off as judgy. though I recognize she is from a different generation.

Fred and Rose West are virtually unique in British criminal history: a husband and wife who loved and killed together. During their long relationship, the Wests murdered a series of young women, burying the remains of nine victims under their home at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester, including those of their daughter. What was left of Fred West's eight-year-old stepdaughter was dug up from under the Wests' previous Gloucester home; his first wife and nanny were buried in open country.

Not for bedtime listening
Revisado: 01-02-22
this book was a thorough account of the West's development and crimes. It leaves and encourages some reflection on how these two people became the monsters they were. Not simply relying on statements that they were evil. while a good listen I don't think I will run through it soon. the descriptions of violence against women and children is graphic without being obscene for the sake of shock value. The book recounts the horror that the West's victims experienced. It also provides the always sought, where are they now? sometimes true crime addicts are always wondering.
TL;DR
Great book but be mindful you will be hearing graphic accounts of sexual abuse, incest, rape, domestic violence, and murder.

Human sacrifice still goes on uncomfortably close to home - cases have been found in the U.S., Europe, and the United Kingdom. In other parts of the world, such as South America, ritual killing is almost commonplace. Human Sacrifice investigates the terrifying current spate of human sacrifices and ritual killings. Jimmy Lee Shreeve draws on police reports and interviews with the victims' families to paint a horrifying picture of ritual sacrifice at home and abroad.

Disappointing and repetitive
Revisado: 10-05-20
The book was somewhat informative though was fixated on a few different stories in a way that did not add to the content. There were some great opportunities for cultural education that was missed. the author spent a significant amount of time pontificating on his own spiritual practice though was dismissive of the practices of other cultures. At times he was needlessly crude for what felt like shock value.
Ultimately, started off good and then went downhill.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

not what I expected
Revisado: 04-30-19
the content was genuine and gave me a better understanding of the author and arpatheis south Africa. There were numerous stories and tidbits of information. Trevor did a wonderful job of explaining apartheid and both his anecdotal experience and the systemic issues. Trevor's story is one of violence, oppression and the value of a robust inner resilience. It is also the story of a mother's love and wish for her son to live a better life than she did. While I am happy to have heard this book I don't think I would listen to it again.

In this gripping narrative, New York Times best-selling author Daniel James Brown sheds new light on one of the most infamous events in American history. Following every painful footstep of Sarah's journey with the Donner Party, Brown produces a tale both spellbinding and richly informative.

amazing story, lackluster narration
Revisado: 12-11-18
I loved the content of the book. It was slow to take off but we all know it takes the Oregon trail time to be interesting. The tale of Sara and her companions is heartbreaking. The book is peppered with research and assorted anecdotes that she'd light into the reality of what happened. whatever you think you know it's only half the truth. it's a slow narration that can take getting used to. It gets better and the content is something you can sink your teeth into. Especially once the cannibalism starts. I didn't know you could do that with ox hides.
