[Cranky Commentary (Melinda) · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this to see if it would make me feel better after the loss of one of my fur babies. This cat and I shared 20 years together, and it has been difficult. After a weird experience following her death, I did seek this type of book out.

This book is written by a psychic and animal communicator. It consists of personal stories about different pets and their owners, alternating with short “lessons” about how this afterlife stuff works, according to the author.

I’m not sure how it made me feel about my own situation, but it was definitely a welcome diversion for me. Whether the reader chooses to believe it or not, it is very interesting and well written, and Anderson seems genuine. I would like to take it as at least an honest account, but after the corrupt and morally bankrupt Beatrice Sparks completely fooled me and all her readers years ago, and many other fakes out there, I can’t help but be a cynic. However, after my own experience, I do tend to think Anderson is sincere.

Four stars for being a well written pleasant diversion that did give me a bit of peace. And how beautiful is that cover?!

Karen is amazing. She is the best animal communicator I have ever had the pleasure of having read my animal companions. Her book is so affirming. It will help you understand your loved ones are there forever, and looking after you. One of my favorite discoveries was that their way of passing is not really a part of their realities. The joy and love they feel while alive is what carries over into the other side. Life affirming. Her book brought me great joy.

Lost my Black Lab puppy-baby, Bodie, last week. I always thought the Rainbow Bridge was lame and then I found myself feeling like my life depended on its existence. Bodie was only 2. I have felt so cheated by his loss. The grief is immeasurable. Maybe I acted too soon. Maybe I could have done more. Maybe, maybe. I may never know. I hope he always knows how much he was loved and how missed he is. Thank you, Karen, for writing this book. It has brought me some peace of mind, hoping that my Bodie forgives me and comes back to me some day.

We lost our beloved dog of 17 years, Chubby, just three days ago. The hurt was so deep and it was as though time had stopped. We could not eat, breathe or do anything — except cry and cry and cry. He had taken a large piece of our hearts with him. We didn't know how to move on. We didn't know what to do. I feared for my parents as they were old and had health issues. I wanted something that would help us. Something that would tell us that our furbaby was okay. I wanted to know if the Rainbow Bridge was real. I needed something!

That was when I googled 'how to overcome the grief of losing your pet'. Karen Anderson's book immediately popped up. I don't usually read books from this genre. But something told me that this was what my family and I needed. Was I being pointed in the right direction? Perhaps. I purchased the audiobook because I wanted us to listen to it as a family. And we did.

With every chapter, our hearts felt lighter. I was certain of the little signs our pets leave us because I was seeing those signs. Smelling them. Yes, we are still grieving. Yes, we are still crying. But we also smile when we talk about him and think of all the times he made us laugh with his silly antics.

Thank you, Karen for letting us know that he will always be with us. Thank you for showing us that we will see him again. We hope our Chubby knows that we will always love him and that a day won't go by without us missing him. If you can see him, or talk to him, please tell him that we love him very very much.

'The Amazing Afterlife of Animals' is written by Animal Communicator and Psychic Medium, Karen Anderson. I enjoyed the chapters about dealing with the loss of a pet and how to heal, as we recently lost our little dog, Woody. I'm still not sure if I'm a believer or not but overall it was an interesting concept. I won this book through Goodreads Giveaways and received a signed copy.

[Laura · Rating 1 out of 5]

The first half of the book was all about her, the writing wasn’t great, and the stories about the readings she’s done were extremely short and all over the place. It felt thrown together and sloppy.

[Sassy Mystic Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting and informative book regarding pets in the spirit world. I recommend.

[Manca · Rating 4 out of 5]

Having lost my beloved dog this year, I've been trying hard to make sense of it all and cope with the loss. I came across this book and thought to myself, this could help, let's give it a try. At times, it was difficult to read, but it was also very comforting, inspiring and beautiful. I didn't like all of it and the first part seemed somewhat redundant, but I took what I needed from it and that brought me some peace and comfort, and most of all, hope to someday be reunited with the one(s) I lost.

[Yu hana · Rating 3 out of 5]

去年太崩潰就買了兩本跟寵物有關的書，但我一直以為要過很久才能看到這兩本，因為讀墨從來沒有做過寵物馬拉松，全站我也會挑更想看的小說來跑，沒想到這個月突然有這個加碼任務，感覺超奇妙～

寶貝還在的時候有做過幾次寵物溝通，但唯一有付費的第一句話就不準，讓我很不相信這種東西。所以書裡講的溝通都像在看小說，覺得很扯。但有些內容又很想相信作者說的是真的，像是牠們擺脫時間跟肉體的限制後，靈魂每天都很開心，因為他們想去哪裡就去哪裡，當然也不會特別想我們，因為隨時都能來到我們身邊，只是我們看不到。

書裡還有提到寵物讓主人找作者當他們溝通的橋樑的部分，主人遇到的很多事也是牠們刻意的安排，就連我們會讀到這本書也是，覺得滿有趣的。不知道我在快到一週年忌日的那一週開始看這本書是不是也是寶貝的安排，我甚至還在忌日當天見了朋友撿到的狗狗大腳，完全沒有時間感傷。聽到朋友說要去寵物店的時候，我還忍不住說：「真沒想到這輩子會跟你一起逛寵物店。」我們認識了二十幾年，我這輩子最久的朋友，看我養狗養了一輩子，這是我唯一覺得她不可能會做的事。

This book was such a big help for me. I lost my Simon on January 4. I never knew how hard it was going to be when he passed away. It was the first time I had ever heard anything about Rainbow Bridge. It gave me hope that I will get to see my Simon again.

[S. Wigget · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a short and simple book, but it took me a while to get through it because of the subject matter.

This book had a lot of useful information about the clairs and psychically communicating with deceased loved ones. I'm not a natural, but I intend to try it. And I don't give a fuck if closed-minded assholes don't believe in psychic powers. Yeah, I mean you callous and arrogant assholes who fucking lashed out at me when I mentioned animal communication on social media. Sick fucks. That's not how you treat someone who's grieving and desperate to reunite with a missing loved one.

Now for what I dislike about this book. The author sneaked in a monotheistic and no doubt Xian perspective, which was inappropriate and triggering. As I have written in several other Goodreads reviews: if you are writing Xian nonfiction, indicate that in the title or subtitle. Otherwise, you're misleading and sneaky and imposing your creepy patriarchal religion on the reader. Also, it suggests that you're a fundamentalist Xian.

Even if I weren't wracked with grief, I would find this triggering and offensive.

I was indifferent toward Xianity until after college I worked in retail in St. Louis for years. Smug and self-righteous, Goddess-rejecting monotheist hypocrites regularly came into my workplace and bragged about their religion and sometimes even asked me about mine. At first I naively thought that because they were open about their religion, I could be open about mine--so in a couple cases, I told them I'm a Pagan. Of course they lashed out, attacking me and my religion.
That's how I went from not caring about Xianity to having an intense aversion to it. If your patriarchal religion were all that great, you wouldn't fucking impose it on others. Protesting too much. Xian supremacy is bullshit, just like white supremacy.

I've been balancing things out a bit by also reading books from a Pagan/Wiccan/Goddess Spirituality perspective. Also, I need to resume reading The Tibetan Book of the Dead--it's the unabridged English translation, so it's huge and I've only read it in portions.

Joel R. Dennstedt for Readers' Favorite

In this age of heightened psychic understanding and awareness, animal communication and its practitioners have gained both increasing credibility and respect. Consequently, a genre previously devoted to the afterlife of humans has expanded to include the afterlife of animals, and in her book titled on this theme, Karen A. Anderson brings to the ranks of Dr. Dolittle successors a variety of uniquely warm and pleasing stories regarding our furry pets and friends. In a rather condensed and anecdotal format, Ms. Anderson offers examples of afterlife communication precise and detailed enough to comfort any semi-skeptical reader, such as cats and dogs passed-over helping to solve cold case murders, as well as reassuring interactions with human family members who have also transitioned to the other side.

The description of the afterlife dimension as told by the deceased animals in Karen A. Anderson’s The Amazing Afterlife of Animals, is fully compatible with that related by such famous mediums and psychics as John Edward and Annie Kagan, and one will feel quite uplifted by their revelations. Ms. Anderson pays due respect to these her predecessors, including an authenticating Forward by the author of The Afterlife of Billy Fingers by Ms. Kagan. Such anointing and referral by an illustrious author in this genre should becalm any reservations an interested reader might have regarding Ms. Anderson’s contribution. And while this book does leave one wanting a bit more information and background on the stories and their interpretations, a bit more storytelling as it were, these marvelous snippets are truly quite unique, and they are as fun to read as they are too quick to end.

I'm not going to use my usual pros/cons format for this one.

I read this book because I've been missing my beloved Shih Tzu something fierce lately even though she passed in 2018.

Since she had to go, I've felt and dreamed of her numerous times, but have longed for her physical presence more than usual (thank you pregnancy hormones). As I read, I was amazed because she'd done so many of the things these animals had. I was also blown away in the grief chapter of ways to handle it and their final days... Most of which I did. It was a validation from my girl that I did everything I possibly could to make those final days smooth, as well as her transition.

At one point of the book, a deceased pet left 11¢ for their owner to find because they died May 11th. My jaw dropped! That was my girl's death day, too! As I opened a Kindle note to write to her, I was called back for my appointment - an appointment that we've waited over 9 years to finally have. I KNEW my girl was telling me she was with me!

I also have other pets in my history I thought about throughout this and it brought me so much clarity and understanding. As someone who can feel deceased humans, I was interested in how the author's experience with deceased pets sounds so similar to how they communicate with me.

This is a beautiful book for anyone who needs comfort in their beloved pet's passing. I cannot recommend it enough!

[Linda Haas · Rating 5 out of 5]

My border collie died last year. She was 15 years old and a member of our family. I’m still grieving. However, this book has been a great comfort to me. I recommend this book for anyone who has lost a beloved pet.

[Joanna Hahn · Rating 2 out of 5]

The only reason I even gave it two stars is I love the subject matter. This book was so poorly written. Just 2 sentences about this pet and 2 about another. You didn't get invested in any story or even her story. It felt so thrown together.

[Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this book and loved how she described her experience of life on the other side for our pets. I also like her personal experience of discovering her talent. The only reason for 4 stars was I was hoping for more in depth stories.

[Bobbie Simoni · Rating 5 out of 5]

It sounds silly but this book brought me a lot of comfort after my beloved dog of 15yrs passed. Whether you believe in reincarnation or an afterlife or not, this book will feel like therapy and a warm hug all in one. So thankful for this book that helped me during those tough first few days. ❤️

[Susan · Rating 5 out of 5]

My beloved nearly 14 year old German Shepherd, Roxy, passed away 3 days ago. In desperation and severe grief I read this book. It was a great comfort to me, even if my skepticism still causes me not to buy in 100%. It still is a kind book imparting love and hope.

There was too much focus on her journey to animal communication. I sought this book for grief so the focus on her was not helpful

If my dog has not crossed over by Tuesday, 12/31/24 we have decided to euthanize. He has stopped eating and can barely walk. He was diagnosed with hermangiosarcoma on Good Friday 3/29/24 and given 1-3 months. I found a holistic vet and he lives now, 9 months after the diagnosis (6 months more than they predicted.) He was fine for so long but turned a bad corner in early to mid December. Rascal is always next to me or staring at me. Our love is something I will never forget and look forward to the day we are reunited on the other side. He truly is the dog that saved my life, giving me the strength to leave a bad marriage. He loves my son, who has always and rightfully referred to Rascal as his best friend. Rascal will be missed every moment of every day and I still don’t know today how I will live without him. I will try to focus on the amazing 5 days he and I spent every minute together in the smoky mountains this summer, when I canceled a trip to Mexico to be with him. I will try to focus on the joy he brought to all our lives and the many road trips we shared. I will spread some of his ashes in our woods where we cherished our nature walks so much. There is not a spot in my life that I will not see him looking at me, often with one ear up, one ear down. (I used to tell him it was the reason I got him, bc he was listening intently. lol) Having read this book, I know with certainty that he will always be next to me (and likely starting at me) until our souls meet again. I love you my rascally roo. You are and forever will be my furry world. Dad and Lori, please welcome him and take care of my baby until I get there. 🥰💕🙏🧘🏻‍♀️😔

***Disclaimer: I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway.***

I have to be really honest - this book was a disappointment. I really wanted to like it so much and hoped it would help me to find some answers. I had hoped that it would explain how you can detect and read messages your pet(s) sends from the Afterlife. But instead it just felt like a 170-page advertisement from the author for her services. What eventually put me off completely was when she started bringing Christian beliefs into the fold. And it seems like about 80% of her beliefs are based on her experiences. I am not saying that she cannot contact and communicate with the animals on the other side, I'm sure she can, but not everyone is a believer in God and not everyone has the resources to employ her services.

One star for the stories of pets sending messages from the other side which she writes about, and a second star for technical aspects (cover, format, writing style, etc.).

Also, besides the categories "Self-help, auto-/biography and animals" this book should also be listed with the tags "Christian literature" and "Business".

[Chris · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is okay and I feel it is beneficial for those who have recently lost a pet and are open to the idea of an afterlife for animals.

The same theme was everywhere in the book: that love conquers all and our pets always love us. Of course that is amazing, but most messages in life always come down to that. I guess I was hoping to learn something new about pets, which did not really happen.

The book has made me think about the emotions I will have when my furbabies have their time and to try and have as much peace as I can so they can crossover as easily as possible.

I am glad the author chose the path to help people by communicating with animals. I gave it three stars, because the writing was average, the stories were average, the recommendations and messages have all been around for decades.

This book would be four stars for a person new to concepts of the afterlife. I do appreciate the reminder to send out energetic love to my pets from childhood who have crossed over for a couple decades now.

[Melissa Simmonds · Rating 4 out of 5]

I purchased this Book shortly after I had to put my Golden Retriever Sammy Joseph to sleep on 6/13/19. He lives far beyond the years I was told.. 13 years and 3 months rather than 8 or 9 due to his Size. I wrote a message to him on the inside of the Book and even ripped off the Calendar Page for that Month and kept it folded inside. My grandparents and I, whom I live with, experienced quite a few instances that could not be debunked in the weeks after I had a Mobile Vet come to our home to help him cross over. I believe all Animals are Angels on Earth and felt peace reading this book that answers questions many Pet Owners may want to know when they go through a loss of a pet. I've permanently shelved this Book to always go back to not only in memory of Sammy, but for the rest of the animals that I will own, love and eventually grieve for

I won this book through goodreads giveaway. Thank you! This hasn't influenced my review of the book.

Apart from whether or not I believe in an afterlife in general, or one for animals in specific, I think the writing style in this book is very pleasant. I really raced through the pages and it was easy to stay focused on the book. I got really sucked into it. The build up of the book made of lot of sense and the chapters naturally flowed from one into the next. This book is very well done and the pictures made the book more aesthetically pleasing. Great read if you're looking for more info about where pets go after they've past away.
