5.0

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.

elizlizabeth's review against another edition

3.0

Fun, quick read. I would mainly recommend it to people looking for shocking facts to throw in a party, but for a more reflective take on death (with the same humor) I still prefer Smoke gets in your eyes.
Not sure all of the topics are things a kid can understand on his/her own so a grownup's supervision might be desirable.
