Very interesting to learn about death rituals and practices in other cultures. I think the book is successful in making the reader stop and reflect upon current American practices surrounding death and grief. I don't think I enjoyed this book nearly as much as Smoke Gets in Your Eyes because this book is less personal, but that makes sense given that the first book is more memoir with bits of science and history added in, while From Here to Eternity is mainly focused on the cultural practices with very small bits of the author's personal perspective of witnessing and being a part of those practices.

Look at me finishing books I started over a year ago. I AM SO FAST. Anyway, this is good and I liked it quite a bit, I just lost it in a pile of other things and recently found it again.
