Gross!

This is way too graphic for my tastes. The whole series is. If you cringe at medical shows, this series is definately not for you or your kids. However, if you don't mind real pictures of real bodies sliced and diced, it is a really good book. My daughter (who LOVED "Bodies: The Exhibit") has turned this into a favorite bedtime book. Yuck!
