 Concise, pleasant and straight to the point. In a very polite and intelligent way, the author has chosen to share with us the most important events in his life so far, good and bad. The people and happenings that transformed his life. As I met for the first time a different definition of the ‘afterlife’ I am quoting the author so you can understand his view on this: “...we should be positive and forget about the ‘bad’, especially after learning our life lessons. That is what normal people say. That is in fact ‘life after life’. All things change, so does life itself.”
Hence, I recommend to everyone, I included, to take our time, look back, reflect and reevaluate certain life situations. Enjoy our life in the moment or while it continues changing! Type of reader: While this is a beautiful story about Boyko’s inner transformations I believe everyone could be moved and inspired by it. My favorite quotes from this book: “...I presume people are generally good. That is why we are called human beings and not anything else that you might well think of. “Love is simply perfect. We should love and be loved. Alternatively, the world and life in general would have been so sad and miserable altogether.” “How wonderful it would be if people spoke only good things about one another?!” My rating: 5/5 Find it on Goodreads Follow the author on Amazon

 The writing style of the author is simply beautiful; honest, poetic and full of emotions. I could feel his love for his dear cat, Marcel, and it made me think that some humans aren't capable to feel the same for another human being. And it is really a pity. I knew from the beginning that it will be an emotional, heartbreaking story, but I was impressed with how the author managed to transmit some of his thoughts and I do applaud him for the strong messages. Yes, it is a sad novella and I could feel tears in the corner of my eyes quite often. I felt lucky I never got to experience the tragic past days, months of pain, the loss of a pet, but I also felt admiration for what the author stands for. I am sure that Marcel was the happiest cat in the world. If only all the animals would face the same destiny. Or humans? We can do much more to make this world a better place. What is stopping us?
Type of reader: Lovers of animals, readers of memoirs and anyone else that searches for an emotional read. My favorite quotes from this book: “But we, humans, have a choice: the choice between good and evil, compassion and cruelty, empathy and ignoring, and we do not use it. We do not use common sense because our stomach blinds our mind and everything flows through it. At least most of us.” “There are the days when I feel like one of them—a hypocrite—when I am not persistent enough, stubborn and determined enough...” “I challenge death to the last duel. Defying it with the strength, I wish to believe, of not-wasted life. My actions will speak for or against me. And one monument I built.” My rating: 5/5.
