Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? Big Questions from Tiny Mortals About Death by Caitlin Doughty
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 rounded to 4 stars - You can always count on Caitlin Doughty for an irreverent, funny book about subjects most people are a little uncomfortable with, but are fascinated by - usually about death.
In this book, the author provides answers to such questions as "if we eat dead chickens, why don't we eat dead people" or "why do we turn colors when we die" and the title question "will my cat eat my eyeballs"? (view spoiler)[there's a huge taboo on cannibalism, and the human body is not very nutritious anyway, and potentially disease carrying; lividity; and yes, if left alone long enough. (hide spoiler)]
Not for the weak of stomach, but if you like a little gallows humor and are curious about what happens to you when you can no longer read, this is a short, funny book you might enjoy.
