Title: Awful writing!
Review: I am sorry to disagree with most of the reviewers, but this is one of the most annoying books I have read in my life (42 years!). I am a scientist and I was expecting somewhat more informative. However, the main problem of this book is not that it gives very little information about forensic science, but that the writing is simply AWFUL. To me, it looks like this book was generated from a five-hour interview that Marion Roach later transformed into many pages of bad writing. I was tempted to reproduce a couple of paragraphs here, but I am not sure about copyright infringement issues. Again, this has been the most disappointing book I have read in my life. Stay away from it if you care about decent writing style!
