Some books do something to your brain that make you want to be a better person and change the way you view the world. This was one of those for me. Truly a remarkable book.

An obituary writer gets drunk one night, writes his own obituary and accidentally publishes it, setting off a chain of events that will change his life. I See You Called in Dead is equal parts funny and an eye-opening look at life and death. The author talks about his motivation for writing this book in the Author's Note and it makes the story hit even harder. This was a great read.

So this book was very fine. I didn't love it but I also didn't hate it. It was just a solid book about death.

Bud was an interesting character. The poor guy was just down bad and it was rough to read sometimes. But he was also surrounded by some pretty decent friends which I think was quite helpful for him. 

My biggest struggle was the writing style. Sometimes sentences ran on for entire paragraphs which than would lose me in the process. It sometimes came off as high brow and I had to reread things. But otherwise it was fine and that's really all I have to say about the book.
