Call me a rubbernecker, go ahead, but I liked it! This isn't start-to-finish gore and one messy cleanup after another, though there is enough of that going on. As Emmins follows a crime scene cleaner through several weeks at his job he takes the time to inspect his own attitudes about death. Would he ever kill himself? How would he like to go? What part does media play in our attitudes toward crime-related death? How do I want my body disposed of? I didn't feel guilty about being fascinated by the misfortune of others because there was enough other stuff in there to think about. The owner of Crime Scene Cleaners is quite a character and the reader is able to get a glimpse of what drives him and his employees to do what they do. I recommend this to anyone interested. It's a pretty quick read and doesn't take heavy concentration, but it still gives you something to think about and helps form or solidify your attitudes about some things.

A really good story...there's so much to pack in to 900ish pages!! Lin really gets around and gets into a lot of scrapes! I found myself telling my boyfriend that he'd enjoy it because it seems like it would be a manly tale of escaping prison, living in a slum, working for the bombay mafia and fighting a war BUT I know he'd hate it because of all the soppiness!!! It gets a bit much, even for little ol' girly me. If the soppiness, Karla's clever (but highly annoying) witticisms and Khaders great philosphies were cut out, this would be a much shorter book and much more of a page turner. It would move at a faster pace, it would be much more exciting as a result and I don't think you'd lose anything from the development of the characters. Mention must be made of Prabaker... my favourite character in the book! Honest, sweet, kind and hilariously funny... I laughed or smiled every time he was mentioned. I'd read a book on him alone!!
