Fun, Interesting, and Enjoyable

A fun little jaunt around the body as Mary learns about all the ways we're trying to augment and replace parts of our being. She explores the history of certain procedures as well as the future of others. She takes on a narrative approach, bringing us along on her investigative journey, telling the human side of the story along with the science.

Would like more depth

What bits of the human body are replaceable, and why is it so difficult?

I’ve read most of the popular science books Roach has written, and enjoyed them all. “Replaceable You” is no different, it’s an easy read about an interesting topic, and I learnt a lot. However, I didn’t find Roach’s writing as charming as before, and suspect it’s me rather than any fault of hers. I’d just like a lot more facts, and a bit less breezy chattiness.
