I think I'm going to pick up Mistress of the Art of Death now instead. I've heard great reviews of this one, and I think maybe I'm just more in the mood for fiction.

To Spook or not to Spook
I've been reading Spook by Mary Roach for maybe a week now, and I think I have to put it down. I enjoyed it at first, but now I keep finding myself glazed over and bored. Too bad - I was really looking forward to this book. Don't you just hate it when a book you had high hopes for disappoints?

I loved Mistress of the Art of Death! I can't wait to see what you think of it!

I didn't like this one At All. And I expected to love it; I was very upset! If you haven't read Stiff, it's a ton better.
Eva, I'm glad to hear that. I've had Stiff on my TBR shelf for almost 2 years, and I was worried it would disappoint me as much as Spook did. What sucks is that I just bought Spook as a treat for myself a couple of weeks ago!
That's exactly how I felt about Spook. I ended up finishing it but I struggled to do so. Now Mistress of the Art of Death was good. I only had one quibble with it but I won't tell you yet - I'll wait to read your review :)
I loved Mistress. I'll be interested to see what you think about it. It is pretty intense.
