Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?: Big Questions from Tiny Mortals about Death by Caitlin Doughty
funny
informative
fast-paced
5.0
The premise of this book is simple. Caitlin has assembled some of the most “distinctive and delightful” questions she has been asked about death and answered them. She believes that by “embracing death and learning about it” it can reduce the death anxiety that many people have.
Questions include: What would happen to an astronaut body in space? Can I preserve my dead body in amber like a prehistoric insect? Can we give Grandma a Viking funeral? And of corse, After I die, will my cat eat my eyeballs?
Caitlin approaches these questions with a light hearted humour, but the answers are factual and well researched.
