Animals on the Other Side Review

The New York Times–bestselling author and psychic Sylvia Browne and her son explain for pet owners of all ages what animals experience when their life on earth is over and what is waiting for them when they return home to the other side. Popular questions such as Does my pet miss me? Did he know I loved him? Can he hear me when I talk to him? Can he come back to visit me? and How will I be able to find my pet when I go home? are answered. The story begins when the spirit of Browne's dog, Jolie, leaves her body and goes home to live on the other side. Jolie runs, jumps, and plays with her eternal friends all around the world, devoid of the pain and suffering she was experiencing on earth. This is a comforting account of a pet's journey through one life and on to the next that explains how animals enjoy eternal happiness right alongside the people who love them.

Comforting book for animal lovers who have lost a pet.
This book really helped me when my best friend Molly (a German Shepherd) died. Mrs. Brown explains about how animals in heaven are always in our lives just like our other family members. I would reccomend this book to anyone who has lost a pet or may be in the process of greiving for a pet.

Encouraging
I have purchased this for myself and also given it as a gift. I found it helpful and encouraging at a time when I wouldn't have been able to concentrate on a regular book. This is easy reading, that you could read though tears & sadness and still get a lot out of it.

Good book
I would recommend this book not only to children but also to adults who have very limited time on their hands. This book provides some insight as to how animal souls can travel freely when they are no longer here in the physical world. Thank you.

Nice to know our beloved pets do go to the other side, too.
After reading this book, I felt better about losing our beloved Chow, Bear, after having her with us for 13 years. I wanted to know if she was still with us in this life and if we would see her in the next and it answered all of those questions. It did comfort me when I needed it most. I would recommend it if you have lost a beloved animal and are wondering where they go and what happens when they die. Could be longer though. Overpriced, as new, for content also. Buy it used. It is worth it then.

Disappointed
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.

Great Book
Although this is one of the most "simple" books I own, I enjoy it so much that I bought several more copies. I give them away to special friends who I believe will "understand" the theme.

This one is a "keeper" for me.

Animals on the Other Side by Sylvia Browne
This is a delightful book to read to children! Highly recommend Sylvia's book--"A Must Read".

Great Book
This was a wonderful book. I bought it for my daughter. We just had to put down our dog, that we had for over 13yrs. My daughter was in so much pain, and feeling guilty, because we had to put her down. This really helped her understand when our pets need to leave us. Thank you so much for having a book about this subject. It really helps anyone who has lost a pet.

DID NOT BUY BOOK AFTER READING REVIEWS
I AM ALSO A SYLVIA BROWN FAN, AND AN ANIMAL LOVER. AFTER READING THE REVIEWS OF THIS BOOK I DECIDED NOT TO BUY IT.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GREAT BOOK AND AFTER LIFE READ KIM SHERIDANS BOOK ANIMALS IN THE AFTER LIFE, IT IS EXCELLENT.

Extremely Disappointing
I thought this was an adult book about Sylvia Browne's view of what happens to animals when they die.

I was very upset and disppointed to find the book seemed to be written for parents to read to their children, as well as a section on each page that seemed to written for adults. The two "different" books seemed to contradict each other as well.

Not something I would recommend for a child or an adult. I will be throwing it away, as I would not want some child to read it and be confused about many issues that were brought up in the "adult" section on each page.
