very interesting and very entertaining. learned a lot and smiled a lot. it does get explicit about the processes bodies undergo after death, so please beware of that and don’t listen if you’re not comfortable with it. If you wanna get more comfortable with death - this book is a great place to start. 
Caitlin’s writing and - in case of the audiobook - reading are delightful.

Content warnings not complete. The book mentions many topics in passing. It is direct and factual, but never cruel to the reader. The tone is mostly light and humorous while being appropriate and respectful.

Many amazing and interesting questions about death answered, thanks to kids who asked about them. I never wondered what happens if you die in space, but now I know. The humour and illustrations made this a light read, couldn't recommend enough.

Vastauksia moniin hämmästyttäviin ja kiinnostaviin kuolemaan liittyviin kysymyksiin, kiitos niitä kysyneille lapsille. En ole koskaan miettinyt mitä tapahtuu, jos kuolet avaruudessa, mutta nyt tiedän. Huumori ja kuvitukset tekivät tästä kevyen luettavan, en voinut suositella tarpeeksi!

vigil's review against another edition

dark funny informative lighthearted reflective fast-paced

4.5

this didn’t land with me as much as her other two books, (likely due to its aim towards a younger audience) but i enjoyed it just the same. i think taking a look at the table of contents (thank you for having one, my god) will be able to help you figure out if the book is for you. 

it features very graphic descriptions about death, corpses, and decomposition, but i figure you wouldn’t have picked this up for any other reason.
