Customer Reviews

An entertaining book

A mortician answering questions she's been asked by kids over the years. Answered with interesting facts, laws, & humor this was a quick read. My favorite was about cremation & popcorn. I learned some new laws on selling a house where there's been a death too. Fun & easy to read 34 questions and up to 3-7 page answers for burning questions!

Will my cat eat my eyeballs? Is very informative and hard to put down

I love how informative it is and it really opens your eyes to things that go on in the world involving the deceased both past and present and possibly future its very death positive and to think this book was inspired by questions from kids it's hard to put this book down very educational I highly recommend for those who enjoy learning about history and based on true events

Great for anyone interested in the unusual aspects of death

📚 book review 📚 Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs and Other Questions About Dead Bodies by Caitlin Doughty 11/21-11/22 214 pages 5 star This is a really great read if you're curious about death and the macabre. I personally feel Doughty should be considered an expert in her [somewhat unusual] field. This book is a treasure trove of cool Q&As from kids. There's also awesome illustrations in this book! Quite a few things I already knew, but loads of stuff I didn't. Highly recommend if you're interested in unusual reads.
