4.5 stars. 
 Roz Chast tells the story of her parent's later years, concluding with their deaths. It's a difficult subject, though Chast tackles it with honesty, openness, and throws in some humor to boot. The illustrated panels are complimented with some photos, and quite a few journal-type entries. Sometimes creating a story in a graphical format fails to convey it properly. Here, it boosts the story, and heightened my connectedness to the author and her struggles with her parents. I laughed, I cried, and I worried about my parents' mortality as well as my own. Thanks to Chast for this book!
