Endorsements & Reviews

“Roach is a fearless and witty reporter.” — Wall Street Journal

“[Mary Roach] is a bold, tenacious, and insatiable reporter. . . . [She] has a knack for posing the embarrassing, nonlinear and too obvious questions that others are always afraid to ask. . . . A greatly satisfying romp.” — New York Times Book Review

“Roach is one of those rare writers who can tackle the most obscure unpleasantness and distill the data into a hilarious and informative package. . . . It’s a wonderful read, sprinkled with facts you can quote to amaze your friends.” — San Francisco Chronicle

“Roll over, Kinsey. Mary Roach has done it again. Like Stiff, her improbable page-turner about cadavers, Bonk proves that full-bodied research can be riveting.” — O, The The Oprah Magazine
