Resumen del Editor

Hugo was a dog. He died. Now he's a kitten. As Hugo adjusts to his new body (not just a cat - a baby cat!), his new home (San Francisco), his new outside (Where are the mountains? Where is the lake?), and his sudden urge to sit in every box he sees, he wonders if he'll ever see Cassie or Jerry again.

Back in Lake Tahoe, Cassie and Jerry attempt to come to grips with life without Hugo. Cassie fills the void with "Tadpole Guard" and "Worm Patrol" and ups her protection of Jerry (her human), who is in the midst of a cataclysmic midlife crisis. In addition to his dog dying, Jerry's last two books have been monumental flops, and he's still reeling from his fiancee leaving him for another man. As if these problems aren't enough, his parents (who have become late-stage hippies) are coming to live with him for the entire summer.

And so begins the journey of three souls, intertwined by love, loss, and perhaps something even greater. Told with Nick Pirog's charm and razor sharp wit, The Speed of Souls is at once a hilarious, moving, and transcendent work of storytelling.

Listen to it, Now!

Anyone who's loved a pet will understand. Trust your pets. It's just what I needed right now.
I recently got a puppy and her temperament, personality and quirks remind me so much of my old dog. She picked me not the other way around. Daisy is that you?
So, listen to it, cry some happy tears and hug your pets.

No Thomas Prescott Here…

The Speed of Souls is something I was completely not expecting at all. It is a great story of survival, friendships & love.
I think Nick Pirog is a wonderful author to begin with & would probably read/listen to just about anything of his. He gives his characters such personalities & this book is no different.
Thanks to the narration, I kept wanting to listen; wanting to know what could possibly happen next.
It was a great listen, probably one I will go back to from time to time.
If you are one that doesn’t like a book with animals as main characters, that made me pass it up a few times as well. But it also made me give my first review & all 5 stars.

Great book for dog lovers!

There are parts that seem a bit cheesy, but the love between human and animal is beautiful. This is a great easy read.

Absolutely wonderful

This is by far one of my favorite books of all time. I can completely relate as I have two golden retrievers to and trying to get into their minds is exactly what this book says. I’ve listen to it a few times because I like it so much.

A magicial story

Don't pass this one up. This story will stay with you forever. A page Turner in the best of ways.

love is limitless

It's been a long time since a book has made me feel like I thoroughly "lived" with the characters in such a wonderful way. I really love the way this author brings the characters to life. It is done in such a way you can't help but fall in love with them.

"Do you have a title for it yet?" Yes: wonderful!

What a loving, touching, and funny book!! Nick Pirog is such a good writer! He doesn't stick tightly to one genre, but excels in all. What a great story and gifted story teller.

Loved It

Made me laugh...a lot! It was hard not to fast forward to the end to find out what happens. it was worth being patient and enjoying the journey.

Laughing Like a Loon

I'm sure the people in the car next to me think I'm crazy, but I couldn't help laughing out loud, alone in my car, at the idea of "hot dog homicide". If you love dogs, and cats, this book will put a smile on your face.

I've often wondered what my pets are thinking; now I also wonder if they are as witty as Cassie and Hugo.

Such a treat

I laughed I cried I didn’t want it to end.
The narration is wonderful and the story is so great.
I simply love Nick Pirog’s writing and listened to all of his audiobooks.
Highly recommended
