Her investigations of ritual, custom, law and science are thorough, and she doesn't shy from naming the parts of Grandma's body that might leak after she is gone., There's serious science here, but also cultural lessons in death and dying, a little history, and a touch of gruesomeness wrapped in that shroud of sharp, witty humor., With every ounce of straight-talking spunk one could muster for this topic, Doughty delivers a surprisingly heart-warming read., Doughty's writing is unusually conversational in tone for a book with subjects that can be considered taboo. Not only does she manage to make it extremely informative, throughout she includes her comments with sometimes profound thoughts, real humor and a significant dose of brilliant wit., Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? is funny, dark, and at times stunningly existential, revealing not only how little we understand about death, but also how much kids can handle., [Doughty] provides answers to questions both humorous and moving, bringing tiny and full-sized mortals alike to a greater comfort with and understanding of the one transition that will happen to us all., Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? is morbidly funny and frank, lighthearted and informative...[A] delight for all and a must for adults who might fall victim to a barrage of childhood questions., ""Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?" is morbidly funny and frank, lighthearted and informative. ... [A] delight for all and a must for adults who might fall victim to a barrage of childhood questions.", [E]very one of Doughty's answers serves as a charming guide into something we take enormous pains to avoid.
