It definitely started out slow but half-way through turned into a page-turner. Glad I stuck with it!

I hear it's better so I am interested to compare the two. <br /><br />Oh I thoroughly enjoyed Stiff when I listened to it on audiobook back in 2015. It was one of my favourite books for that year. I loved the style and the narration. I listened to it in a couple of days because it was so interesting. I would like to pick up some other books by Mary Roach sometime.

I liked it so well, that I started from the very beginning and have been working my way through the series. The first 2-3 of the series are okay, but they get better with time.

I was like, "hold up!" This Is Where It Ends had potential, but it just fizzled out somewhere. Maybe too many characters, too many flashbacks, and the tweets added at the end of the chapters...

I get what she was trying to do but it was poorly done. Too many characters, the writing was weak, and it felt like she was trying to capitalize on a hot topic rather than write a good book.
