Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory by Caitlin Doughty

dark emotional funny informative reflective slow-paced

5.0

This one was quite a good read. I'm not usually one for nonfiction, but the macabre nature of this drew me in. I do think that there was not enough emotion invested in dealing with the dead on the part of the narrator, but that is personal taste. I recognize that keeping an emotional wall up is likely essential to being in the death business. I learned so much and found the author's voice engaging, despite the sometimes difficult subject matter.
