Living Life with Death by Sarah Jones

Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Living Life of Death is a non-fiction genre and is 82 pages long. The book is about Sarah Jones's life, who works in the death industry. From the minute I opened the book, I was sucked in; it was a moving and powerful read. I felt it was very dark because it's about death, but I liked that. I was very fascinated by her job and all the things that she had to do dealing with dead bodies. Furthermore, I feel it was beautifully and elegantly written. Not only that, but I liked how the book was split into three sections; that was superb. Sarah Jones writing is very detailed, and I felt it was very poignant to me. I read it super fast, but I feel it’s a book I would probably read again. I felt like I could relate to Sarah Jones a little because I worked in the care setting and coming across death. Living a Life of Death is not just a non-fiction; it is written with some poetry in there as well. I thought this really worked throughout the book. Living Life in Death is something that I wouldn’t normally read because of my issues with death, but this was a remarkable read and fascinated me immensely. Five stars.
