The review praises Death as a wise, approachable figure who, once a century, lives a day among humans. It recounts plot elements (Sexton, Hettie the Mad) and frames the story as a lesson about hope, sharing and the value of life. The reviewer finds the work both tender and instructive.

For:Fans of Neil Gaiman and literary comics; readers interested in themes of mortality, hope and coming-of-age.

 "I can't help but repeat to myself: I'm not in this swamp and there's no crocodile behind me and there's no rope in front of me, and there's no girl sitting on the edge eating a hot dog... and if I believed it were all true, I could do nothing but die, because Death would no longer come to console me with some affectionate words. After all, she has a brother who believes in hope." (Tori Amos)
