Interesting. If you fear something, does learning about it demystify the topic and alleviate the fear? I’m not sure, but this was…interesting. The last chapter situates this within our pandemic times and brought it home for the five stars.

erinbrook's review against another edition
I thought this was an extremely well written and researched book. I've heard it compared to Stiff, and while it's been YEARS since I've read it, I thought this one went into a bit more detail. I loved the authors backstory, and I found her to be quite relatable.
I don't typically rate nonfiction, but I would recommend this one to anyone curious about the topic, and maybe slightly morbid like myself.
