About this listen
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.

Just beautiful. A Perfect Story.
Full Disclosure - i normally read/listen to crime, so I was hesitant to engage in a book about/"narrated by" dogs/cats but Nick Pirog's 3am series was just sooo good I wanted to give this a try. It's just stunning. It's beautiful and elegant and heart-warming and might even have elicited a little lump in my throat every now and then. It's so cleverly written - exactly how you imagine dogs would think or speak and the narration perfectly combines the spirit of the book and the characters. I loved it so much. Nick Pirog is fast becoming one of my favourite authors - and no-one was even murdered!

Wonderful!
What a wonderful, sweet, lovely, joyful story! I've only recently discovered Nick Pirog's books after finding 3.00 a.m. Henry Bins series in the free Audible Plus catalogue (fabulous btw). And I have to say The Speed of Souls is most definitely worth the credit...Animal lovers especially will enjoy this. Highly recommended.

Loved it!
I have listened to the author's other books and enjoyed them but this one tops the cake.
I cried, I laughed, I worried and I hoped. What a great story, absolutely loved it.
The narrators were fantastic as well.
