The Loudest Meow: A Talking Cat Fantasy (Cats of the Afterlife Book 1) Kindle Edition

I loved Wendy Ledger's take on cats in the afterlife. In this page-turner, the kitty-characters are fun and real; exactly how I imagine cats talking to and treating one another! I've already gifted copies to dear feline-loving friends! I'll also be gifting this book to a few people during the holiday season. I can't wait to read the next books in this series!

This book creates a whole new perspective of a cats life beyond the rainbow bridge. The author quickly pulls you into Jem’s journey on the other side. Jem is a calico cat and has much to learn as her adventures unfold as a new soul.It was a fun read and I enjoyed that the book was from the cats point of view.It would make a perfect gift for any cat lover!

I had hoped for an uplifting story. I found this tragic and so sad. Maybe some will.like it but it was not for me. I hope my cats that have passed live in a better place.

For what it is (light-hearted, low stakes fun), this was a fantastic story that took me from laughing hysterically to almost crying and everywhere in between.The narrator was positively brilliant, and clearly understood the tone of the book extremely well. All of her voices were distinct and very closely matched the way they were described. Her vocal inflections were almost perfect, and in each scene she adjusted her tempo just right to match the tone of that scene.Now, let me just express how much I love the author's beautiful depiction of the cat afterlife. While poignant at times, the optimism here was a joy to read.Jem is an adorably sweet character and it was both fun and heartbreaking to experience her trials, failures, and successes as she tries to get back to the family she left behind.My only real criticism is at the prose level. There are a couple of points where the words seem to be in the wrong order and there are some instances of passive voice, telling, and dialogue feeling slightly stilted. None of that pulled me out of the story for more than a moment, however.From start to finish this was an emotional ride that I can't recommend highly enough.I love that rather than wasting time with a "day in the life" sequence, we jumped right into the story. And while on the surface it may appear as though it deals with weighty topics (death), pretty much the entire story stays light and fun.It's absolutely appropriate for a younger audience, especially if, like me, you have a child who loves books written from the perspective of animals.While it didn't end in the way I expected, the author put together a great ending that was emotionally satisfying.

The Loudest Meow touched my heart. Wendy Ledger makes her characters come alive. You'll laugh with them, worry for them, and cheer them on through challenging events. Whether you're a cat lover or not, I think you'll really enjoy this story. I look forward to reading more of Wendy's books.

It was a cute short read. It wasn't quite what I expected. I thought it might be more detailed about Jem's journey before the Rainbow Bridge, maybe a little more serious. It was still cute. I was given a chance to read an ARC by agreeing to leave an honest review.

In a way it sorta made me sad. I wanted Jem toget back with her people. It was a heartwarmingstory, though. The Cat on the cover looks exactlylike my Sunni Girl who passed in 2017. I enjoyedthe book and will read the other 2.

The Loudest Meow: Wendy LedgerThank you for sharing your imagination and making me think. This book follows what it could be like when our cat leaves us. A great read for a lazy Weekend! I will look for more books by this author.I am a cat person. My adult son says he is his cats "service human!". This being said we have had many furry friends over the years. Yes it hurt when they left us. I never stopped to imagine what their afterlife would be like.I borrowed this book from Kindle Unlimited.
