Review:
This was a fun little book to have read and I learned quite a few new things, which is always great!
I think it's great to have books like these around, books that answer questions you may have, as well as answering questions you didn't even know to ask. There's a lot of stigma around dead bodies and a lot of misconceptions and this offers up interesting and frank information about what actually happens to our bodies when we die.
I've previously read From Here To Eternity by this author which was excellent and I can't help but compare the two; both have a lot in common in that they deal with death and dead bodies in a respectful and informative way and both have quite a lot of humor in them. However, I felt like the funny bits in this book compared to the other was... maybe trying a little bit too hard. I felt the humor in the other book flowed better than in this one and to be totally frank, it made me like this a little bit less.
To me this book does feel like maybe it's supposed to cater to a slightly younger audience than me and so parts of it feel a little juvenile, but I did still really enjoy it and I had fun learning some new things!
