funny informative inspiring relaxing fast-paced

3.5

A funny quick-paced book mainly addressed to children but suitable for adult audiences as well. I follow Caitlin Doughty on social media and her writing style is consistent with her YouTube persona, as well as her humour. Backed by scientific research (references available at the end of the book), this easy read is quite informative and promoting death positivity in a light manner. I would have appreciated it if the explanations we're a little more in-depth, it is often seeming to skim the surface, but I suppose it is because of the younger intended audience. 

Some descriptions are quite graphic and may be uncomfortable for squeamish readers (the answer to "why is grandma wrapped in plastic" being the most graphic imo).

Illustrations are cute and a nice addition to the book.

Caitlyn, as per usual, handles the subject of death (and everything to do with it) in an approachable way! She answers all of the questions with candor and tasteful humour. Definitely a fitting read for those young and old who want to know more about what happens when we die!

Caitlin Doughty, ever so charming, makes dying sound more... normal? This book answered so many questions I didn't know I had. It made me decide what I want to do with my body once I perish muhahaHaha.
