alisarae's review against another edition
CD does a great job of demystifying taboo subjects in a light-hearted and honest light. Each chapter answers a question people have about dead bodies, and since the author, who got her start on Youtube, does her own reading, it sounds like podcast episodes. Great sort of thing to listen to while multitasking.

Allemaal vragen over de dood die je niet weet hoe je ze moet stellen of dat je niet eens wist dat je ze moest stellen op een grappige en toegankelijke manier uitgelegd. Ik vind Doughty’s boeken o.a. fijn omdat ze me dichter bij het begrijpen en normaliseren van de dood brengen.

not my type of humor, a bit boomerish, but an interesting quick read

4.5⭐️ I loved this book a little too much considering it’s literally about corpses.

I enjoyed this! The chapters were short and informative. The writing was easy to understand and I feel like death is less mysterious now. If you're looking for super graphic language or descriptions, this isn't the book you want. If you want a lightheaded, but educational explanation of death and what happens to your body afterwards I recommend this.

Moderate: Animal death and Death
In with death there are descriptions of decomposition. This is a book aimed towards a younger audience so it isn't super detailed or upsetting.
