I agree with you. It's a very enjoyable read despite the focus on death both human and animal. So far the only criticism I have is that I get the nagging sensation that she could be slightly overstating or altering a few things here and there in her own story for effect. Not enough yet to affect my liking of the book, but enough for me to feel like mentioning it.
