Feels like a visit with a witty, interesting, young-at-heart elder who loves to tell stories about her life. I listened to the audiobook, which was excellent. ( ) This really should have been a short essay instead of a 117-page book that sells for $19. It's very repetitive, and the author rambles a lot, including various stories about her family that added nothing to the "book." It is most definitely not a how-to, despite what the back cover claims. The message is a good one, though: Declutter and organize now, because you'll die eventually, and no one else will enjoy doing your chores for you. There are a couple minor swear words, and weird sexual references that were clearly unnecessary. The author is not a Christian, so various unbiblical ideas are referenced, also. I enjoyed this little book. I ordered myself a copy after I lost my father a few months ago. I suppose my father was a death cleaner! I don't know what he would have thought of that label, but he taught me a lot about not accumulating and holding onto "stuff" and about handing things down while you're still living so you can see your loved ones enjoy those things! My own home is too cluttered and I feel I have far too much stuff! Time to be inspired by my father's lessons and by Margareta Magnusson's wise words and do the hard work and find joy in a more minimalist lifestyle! A remarkable, inspiring, and useful little book - especially for people over a certain age, myself included. I finished it in one afternoon. Unabashed frankness about the subject of death is so refreshing. The Swedish author makes such a great point, while reminding us a few times throughout the book that she is between 80 and 100 years old! Great sense of humor too! Her suggestions on "death cleaning" (no need to be shocked at the phrase at all...) are so reasonable and completely up my alley. I agree with everything she says. Has to be done (for everybody's sake) - and better earlier than later. It's simply rude to leave a mess for somebody to take care of when we are gone - when we can easily do it the decluttering ourselves while we still can. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
