Readers are free to take in whatever they find to be thought-provoking. She does not provide the reader with a definitive answer about what, exactly, one should expect from the afterlife. In Spook, Mary Roach asks plenty of interesting questions, and follows up by finding out what science had to say regarding the afterlife. It is the book for people who wonder what science can tell us about the soul, where it lives, and where it might go. This is not the book for people who have strong religious beliefs about the afterlife and who are looking for something that confirms what their religion tells them. Go into this book with an open mind and you will definitely learn something about human nature. In my opinion, the best way to read Spook is to set aside whatever religious ideas you may have about the afterlife. Spook – Science Tackles the Afterlife was written in 2005. After writing about what happens to the human body after the person dies, it seems appropriate to write a book about what happens to the human soul after the body dies. Mary Roach is the author of Stiff – the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers.
