Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?: Big Questions from Tiny Mortals about Death by Caitlin Doughty

5 reviews

savvy999's review

dark funny informative lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

Doughty’s signature wit and humor is condensed for younger(?) readers. Her honesty and frankness is always refreshing but here it definitely seems  less  potent and touching, but definitely because the target reading group is less intense than her previous books intended readership. Satiates curiosity and has great illustrations!

dark funny informative medium-paced

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.

Moderate: Animal death and Violence

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.
