Decided I wanted to read “a humorous and witty�� book, so I landed on this one. Can you imagine a newspaper obituary writer accidentally(in a drunken tired state) pressing send on his very own obituary? Bud is sarcastic by nature , but as repercussions pour in on his life,or death, he tries to manage the fallout. He starts to explore death and attends random funerals, trying to see what death is really all about. Is it about death or the accumulation of a lived life. All of a sudden the story becomes a powerful insight into the meaning of life.
This book touched my soul. I, myself, had someone write an obit for my brother. It was full of things that never occurred and inaccuracies, so that anyone who read it and knew him was asking who is this person. After reading this, I know for sure that everyone should write their own story. I’m already composing in my head as I write this. Second, the character named Tim really spoke volumes. His insight into living a life with a broken body hit me right in the gut.
At times, it was slow and laid back, and then the punch it delivered was incredible. Too many people go through life without ever really living it. Grief stops us on so many levels and in so many different ways. Well deserved 5*; it’s hard to believe this was fiction.
“One advantage for the dead is that they never have to read your writing.��
“You can’t get these details wrong. This is history for family and friends, a thing they will print and laminate, save and pass down.��
“Because when half your body is dead, you don’t live a long, happy life.��
