This was really interesting, much like the kind-of interest one has in "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" if science and death interest them, which is does me. I also liked how it was more of a study on death culture, and how Americans' views have changed over time and how our "beliefs" are not really rooted in anything substantial whereas many other cultures practice rituals of death that have been their belief for centuries or thousands of years. Definitely recommended for people who are interested in the science part of death, but also interested in a mini philosophical discussion on death practices.
