"Delightfully readable." --Newsday "Dr. Gonzalez-Crussi is a marvelous storyteller as well as a meticulous observer, and he has written a book about death that is pulsing with life." --The New York Times Book Review "Gonzalez-Crussi comes off as a sort of dream dinner guest: urbane, informed, ironic, and entertaining." --San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle "Gonzalez-Crussi [writes] with a flowing prose style ... indulging some perceptive observations on politics and religion en route.... His account of the filming of an autopsy he performed leads into a commentary on various reactions to death. He draws attention to the profound difference between the words 'resuscitation' and 'reactivation' in near-death situations.... There is much here for immediate and future pondering." --Booklist "Elegant... While Gonzalez-Crussi brings some levity to his subject here, the overall tone is serious--appropriately so--and should stir readers into their own memento mori." --Kirkus Reviews
