dark funny informative fast-paced

4.5

This book answers questions that all of us have probably had about death at some point in our lives. Caitlin Doughty is a mortician and content creator who dedicates her platform to making the world feel more comfortable with death and all that comes with it. I have always struggled with a lot of these concepts so reading this was outside of my comfort zone, but I found it extremely informative, accessible and even funny. The only reason why i didn't give it quite 5 stars is just because I would've liked some chapters to have more information.

Love Caitlin Doughty! After watching so many of her videos, it was almost like I could hear her voice in my head narrating the book as I was reading it.

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.
