Best-selling author and mortician Caitlin Doughty answers real questions from kids about death, dead bodies, and decomposition.
Every day, funeral director Caitlin Doughty receives dozens of questions about death. What would happen to an astronaut’s body if it were pushed out of a space shuttle? Do people poop when they die? Can Grandma have a Viking funeral?
In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, Doughty blends her mortician’s knowledge of the body and the intriguing history behind common misconceptions about corpses to offer factual, hilarious, and candid answers to thirty-five distinctive questions posed by her youngest fans. In her inimitable voice, Doughty details lore and science of what happens to, and inside, our bodies after we die. Why do corpses groan? What causes bodies to turn colors during decomposition? And why do hair and nails appear longer after death? Readers will learn the best soil for mummifying your body, whether you can preserve your best friend’s skull as a keepsake, and what happens when you die on a plane. Beautifully illustrated by Dianné Ruz, Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? shows us that death is science and art, and only by asking questions can we begin to embrace it.
Mortician Caitlin Doughty—host and creator of "Ask a Mortician" and the New York Times best-selling author of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes —founded The Order of the Good Death. She lives in Los Angeles, where she runs her nonprofit funeral home, Undertaking LA.

找不到有聲書版隻能評論在紙質版裏啦,書有點短,聽得我意猶未盡,蠻有意思的。
评分呃本來想年末開看年初看完湊個2020閱讀數,結果看入迷瞭三四天就翻完瞭....但其實還是挺不理解憑什麼 Goodreads Choice Award 把 Dumb Birds in North America 放在幽默類而這一本書卻能在科學技術類奪冠,我看基調差不多,也就7/10水準(。有點像 Randall Munroe 的 What If,隻不過話題變成瞭 postmortem changes 和殯葬處理,提問的人都是小孩所以整體顯得比較子供嚮,內容嘛就大部分知識你可以靠看兩季CSI獲得......作者的暢銷書文風讓你看的時候刷刷猛看愛不釋手,看完留下無限空虛「我看這幹嘛,我花這時間去看CSI不好嗎」(對不起一直cue CSI
评分奇奇怪怪的書,在這無聊的日子裏讀來倒也頗多趣味。人死之後,送到殯儀館去,話說我從沒想過,火化之後骨灰有4kg,是我現在體重的12分之一,還有人賣屍體額,真是讓人汗毛倒立的,國傢保護動物還會挖屍,死後還得被動物拉齣來曬曬太陽????。如果沒有被焚燒,埋在地底下,一不湊巧還能變成化石????
评分這本書太歡樂瞭。我從來沒有想到自己會讀一本有關死亡的書讀得這麼快樂。尤其在這樣的一個非常時期。一問一答的方式讓人很容易讀下去,不知不覺中還增長瞭很多知識。會去看她的其他書。
