I recently had the pleasure of reading "ميت مطلوب للشهادة"

by Dr. Samar Abdelazim, and I must say it left a lasting impression on me. The book, with its seventeen captivating narratives from the autopsy room, provides a unique and insightful journey into the world of forensic medicine.

Dr. Abdelazim's ability to intertwine the scientific aspects of each case with a compelling narrative is truly commendable. Each story is not just a recounting of forensic procedures but a humane exploration of the lives behind the cases. The way the author delves into the intricacies of each situation and presents a simplified scientific explanation adds an enriching layer to the storytelling.

One of the standout features for me was the author's personal touch, sharing her own apprehensions about entering the field of forensic medicine. This added a relatable dimension and allowed me to connect on a more personal level with the author and the stories she presented.

Moreover, the book succeeds in humanizing the victims, making it more than a compilation of forensic cases. Even when dealing with hardened criminals, Dr. Abdelazim skillfully elicits empathy from the reader, creating a thought-provoking and emotionally engaging experience.

As a reader interested in the intersection of science and humanity, "ميت مطلوب للشهادة" surpassed my expectations. It is a must-read for anyone intrigued by forensic medicine, true crime, or those simply seeking a well-crafted and impactful narrative.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this book to fellow readers who appreciate a unique blend of science, storytelling, and a deeper understanding of the human experience. Dr. Samar Abdelazim has created a work that not only educates but also resonates on a profound level.
