Review of 'Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I ate this book up! You get to read about this mortician’s first six years of work in the funeral industry. It was funny, provocative, and just plain interesting. This is the second book of Doughty’s that I’ve read. I look forward to more.
