This is a hard one. I absolutely enjoyed reading it. It's macabre and funny but at some point it started to drag on a lot. It didn't make it any less interesting but it still impacted the reading experience.
Some of the stories were less interesting than others but overall it was a really good selection.
I learned a lot more or less usefull stuff while reading. For example I didn't know how popular skulls are and how many bodies get misplaced, go missing or are involved in more adventures than during their lifetime.
It makes you grateful for a peaceful and proper burial, how ever that may look for the individual.
Maybe others would actually love to have such an adventurous afterlife, sounds memoriable for sure.
