I recently lost my beloved pet of 15 years and was looking for words of hope and comfort that one day I will get to see him again. I did not get that from this book. It was brief and I felt like I was reading a children's book. I received more comfort and hope from the paragraph I received about the Rainbow Bridge from the SPCA. I was very disappointed that the book was so short with very little detail. Normally Sylvia describes the afterlife and the ornate buildings and duties and way of life in great detail, so my expectations were high. I read this book cover to cover in about 5 minutes and came away angry that I wasted my money. I realize that afterlife may be a fantasy but in times of mourning, you are searching for anything that brings comfort and this book fell extremely short in that area.
