Do Animals have souls? As an animal lover I could not conceive of a happy afterlife without the presence of all the wonderful animals that have been such a large part of my life. Their lives have been brief compared to mine, and it is the thought of being with them once again that is the only remedy for the grief that is felt at their loss. Arlene Millman's book about her beloved Boston Terrier, Boomerang, reaffirms the belief that animals do indeed have souls and that no life is truly lost, it is merely transformed. I highly recommend this book for all novice seekers of enlightenment, and as a source of solace for anyone who has ever lost a beloved companion, animal or human.

Whether by accident or by design, the author very effectively conveys the progression of Boomerang's awareness and understanding of the universe and of his purpose. In the first book of the trilogy, Boomerang's first life and puppy-hood, the writing is simple, as if written for a child to read. In the second part of the trilogy the writing matures along with Boomerang and his growing awareness. In the third part of the trilogy, the writing takes on a certain majesty, almost a poetic cadence, as Boomerang experiences true enlightenment. The author states that Boomerang is the author and she is merely the translator. The transition in writing style makes that statement believable.

Boomerang's mission is his message - the spreading of enlightenment through love and kindness. Both are contagious, infectious and eternal - pass them on. Pass on the book too, but make sure you get it back. It's a keeper!

"Boomerang- a Miracle Trilogy details the passage of grief, recovery and hope during the brief life and death of her beloved Boomerang, a talented and extraordinary Boston Terrier. The story is a melange of fact and fable, showing that love can triumph over death and that fantasy can be a healing medium. When animal spirits and humans freely interact, the result is a charming fable of birth, rebirth and transformation of one's soul.

This is a hopeful book, full of wisdom about living, loving and dying. Set against the recent events of the beginning of this millenium, Grandpa Gem and Boomerang are sweet missionaries in a world fraught with danger and fear. They are the messangers of love and kindness, embracing a philosophy that would make the world a far better place.

Writing can be an extraordinary medium for recovery rom grief. In writing "Boomerang- a Miracle Trilogy," Mrs. Millman has found her voice and bared her soul. Love- and writing- can indeed conquer all. Wendie Grossman Bereavement Counselor- Bide-a-Wee Home Association

Both as a writer and a book editor, I compare a book with the author's
preface to see if I agree that an author has accomplished what he or she
set out to do. In the preface of Arlene Millman's charming book, she
states that her purpose is to "inspire, inform, and entertain." She has
accomplished her goal imaginatively and admirably, with the help of a
remarkable Boston Terrier.
There is a lot about "Boomerang" that will have a familiar ring to those
of us who love and are loved unconditionally by animals. There is also a
lot to provoke thought and inspire hope.
In a too human world where some religions try to convince us that
animals do not have souls -- when we who know and love animals and the
love and generosity of our Creator know otherwise (because we only need
to look into their eyes to see their souls), "Boomerang - A Miracle
Trilogy," is smile-provoking, an "I told you so," a candle in the
darkness, and a message of love and hope.
Even its backcover illustration provides an appropriate conclusion:
"Through Love, all things are possible."

Do you believe in angels and miracles? If so, Boomerang is a must-read for you. Boomerang is an amazing Boston Terrier who has a great deal of love to share with his human and animal families. He lives up to his name as he continues to move, full-circle, leaving lessons of love, kindness, and sharing with everyone he comes in contact with throughout his journey.

Once you pick up this little book, you will become enchanted with Boomerang, Grandpa Gem, and Junior. Read about his life, his encore, and his odyssey, as related to his owner and author of this inspiring book, Arlene Millman.

I found the book to be quite enjoyable. It is the story of a owner and their dog. It is also a story of hope in overcoming adversity. In life we all seem to complain about our problems. We very rarely talk about the good things that happin to us each and every day. Boomerang is about looking at the silver lining in all things.

Boomerang is a well written, gentle and wise book that explores on many levels the power and majesty of love. The book, By Arlene Millman, is compelling in two related yet independent ways. First it is a beautiful story about the love, loss and connection shared between an owner and her dog. Second, Boomerang serves as a spiritual primer, by educating the reader about the transcendent love that lies underneath and around all relationship. Both aspects of the book are well done and well suited for people both young and old.

A story about a Boston Terrier that will inspire people of all ages. Well written and boasting love, affection, sympathy and postive vibes, Ms. Millman suceeds in entertaining as well as providing a positive message to any reader of this book. Highly recommended for any dog or animal lover, also well recommended for anyone who wants to feel good after a good read. This book is appropriate for children of all ages as well.

I found the book Boomerang - A miracle Triology to be a very touching personal memior that deals with the attachment and loss of a beloved canine family member through a warm and enchanting story of unconditional love, hope and family values. Boomerang is a truly warm, comforting, feel good book with a positive and uplifting after taste. I would recommend it for all adults, not just boston terrier fanciers and for children who have achieved a fifth or sixth grade reading comprehension.
