Confessions of a Teenage Body Snatcher is a refreshing change of pace, as we are presented with an engaging thriller for young adults that does not focus on the overused vampire and werewolf plot elements. The novel gives a detailed and gritty account of the activities of the grave robbers of Victorian England. These "ressurrection men" made their living by selling corpses for medical research. We are shown this underbelly of society through the eyes of Victor, who gets caught up in a world where emotion can be your downfall. Victor endures great hardships as he tries to survive while holding on to the values he holds dear and becoming a soulless monster.
