  • Death's Acre: Inside the Legendary Forensic Lab The Body Farm Where the Dead Do Tell Tales

    Nowhere is there another lab like Dr. Bill Bass's: on a hillside in Tennessee, human bodies decompose in the open air, aided by insects, bacteria and birds, unhindered by coffins or mausoleums. At the "Body Farm," nature takes its course, with corpses buried in shallow graves, submerged in water, concealed beneath slabs of concrete, locked in trunks of cars. As stand-ins for murder victims, they serve the needs of science, and the cause of justice.

    I really enjoyed this book. It may be a little vivid for some. I found it fascinating and well written. I would recomend it, especially to science minded people.

    A very entertaining and satisfying story. It picks up right where the ninth book left off and it ends with love and resolution. I enjoyed it very much.

    Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a strange package with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker, his classmate and crush, who committed suicide two weeks earlier. Hannah's voice explains that there are 13 reasons she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out why.

    Story

    A well crafted story and well produced audio, this is the type of book that teens and parents of teens need to read. It offers a chain of events which illustrate the impact each action we take or don't take has on our communities and the individuals in it.

    A long and drawn out suicide note, this story ends with a positive step forward. However, Hannah is still dead and the people who will receive her story will always carry that death with them. The people she did not share her story with will always wonder why she did what she did.

    For the lessons on the impact we each have on each other the value of each life, I will share this story with my kids.

    In the spring of 1974, Calliope Stephanides, a student at a girls' school in Grosse Pointe, finds herself drawn to a chain-smoking, strawberry-blonde classmate with a gift for acting. The passion that furtively develops between them - along with Callie's failure to develop physically - leads Callie to suspect that she is not like other girls. In fact, she is not really a girl at all.

    Story

    Middlesex was enjoyable to listen to. It was written poorly and narrated goofily. Yet I was drawn into the lives of the characters. It was a very campy kind of book. That's why I can say it was written poorly and still give it five stars. I am glad I bought it and listened to it.
