It took me on a hilarious and often poignant journey through the cycle of reincarnation, offering a unique insight into life and morality. Through the misadventures of the protagonist, Kim, and her spiritual transformation, the novel touches on important themes such as karma, empathy and self-acceptance.

A funny and very easy read but nothing that had great meaning for me. It was a refreshing and interesting book for when you are in a reading slump for example but other than that nothing overly funny or exiting allthough some scenes make me giggle

Lectura cortita con una idea nueva y entretenida que me ha mantenido enganchada, aunque mal desarrollada.
Vas viajando con los distintos cuerpos que adopta la protagonista y la historia se convierte en una especie de fábula. Transmite el mensaje de que cada acto tiene sus consecuencias, de la importancia del altruismo y de que la mala suerte nos la buscamos.
El problema: la palabra más repetida del libro es "gorda/o" de forma despectiva, y el autor ridiculiza y menosprecia constantemente a las personas con este tipo de cuerpos. Me ha parecido contradictorio con el propio significado de la novela.
Sin duda el autor tiene que aprender de su propio mensaje, no está acumulando buen karma e irá a parar a un intestino en forma de bacteria.

Quick and easy read, funny, charming and a tiny little bit sad at the end.

Rápido y divertido, una lectura amena y sin pretensiones de ser más que eso.

I was disappointed in this story. The cover and blurb made it sound like a perfect read with humour and a tale of life and karma. However it wasn't at all well written and while it had potential to be a great story it just didn't work out.

Unterhaltsam und kurzweilig.
Die Moral am Ende des Buches konnte man zwar schon mindestens ab der Hälfte erahnen, aber die tatsächlichen Umstände sind trotzdem überraschend.
Die Einwürfe des Sidekicks Casanova könnte sich der Autor sparen, da man durch sie aus dem Lesefluss gerissen und teilweise die Story vorauserzählt wird. Diese Fußnoten fand ich eher nervig als erheiternd.
