Average read for the student of forensics. As a text book it is not
very in depth and would probably be considered amateurish, at best, for any
pathology student. The book was easy to read and added to my
knowledge of Forensics. I would recommend the book if you have nothing else
to do. The book contains poor quality black and white photos. The book would
be considerably better of printed on better quality paper and used updated
imaging and photos of crime scene. The price is way out of range for the
quality and quantity of information it contains.

A guide for laymen of all kinds, January 20, 2004
By Ron Franscell, Author of 'Sourtoe Cocktail Club'

This book is an excellent resource for a variety of readers who are involved with criminal investigations but don't really have all the tools and training of a full-time medical examiner. In my case, as a crime author, the text was an invaluable reference, putting some highly technical material into easily digested context. Recommended for laymen of all kinds who need a good reference work on forensic pathology.
