Summary: I thought I was there
Comment: I could not put this book down!! I am a 40 year old female apprenticing to be a Funeral Director in Canada and it is a true to life book on procedures etc.
The sexual parts surprised me a little, but they did fit in with the life of this man. I was not happy with the amount of spelling and grammer mistakes though. I am going to read this book again as I loved it!!

Summary: Not what I expected
Comment: I had high expectations, but was grossly disappointed in this book. First of all, it was a novel rather than the informational reference that the reviews and description led me to anticipate. But much more surprising to me was the extremely poor writing which comprised the entire work and even worsened as the end approached. From the beginning, this book contained numerous grammatical errors, punctuation mistakes, misspellings, and even ommitted capitalization on virtually EVERY page. The last name of the main character even was inconsistent throughout the book. I could not believe that it got past editing and into print in this shabby fashion. And the ending was not a cliffhanger, if that was the writer's intention. Instead, it just seemed that he was tired of writing it and so slapped a gruesome, traumatic, and unexplained (or even explored) conclusion on it, to stay in keeping with the title, and moved on. As this was the writer's first attempt at a novel-length story, I truly hope that someone is honest with him about his capabilities and he is steered in another direction.

Summary: Very Discriptive
Comment: I really loved this book, however the ending could have been done a little better. The book just ends and not on a happy note. So no Cinderella ending here folks. His editor should be hung there are several typos in the book. But I read the book in two days because I could not put it down. Arlin describes embalming where others have failed.
