Delightful, quirky review of the art of the obituary and the journalists who create them.

Introduction gets you interested and exciting, but soon the writing style gets tedious. You will lose interest about 3/4 of the way through, but worth the time to get to the end, if only to say you read it all.

Really great look into the world of obit writing. It's a bigger world then you might think!
