Having a twin is a beautiful experience, but having a mischievous twin is usually a disaster waiting to happen. In this action thriller, The Karma Kaper, by Noel Anenberg, Walter Shore learns the truth the hard way. Barry, Walter's twin brother, was a high-end Hollywood producer who had stayed at the top by cheating and swindling unsuspecting rich folks into investing in his movie. On the other hand, Walter was just an accountant; however, he knew what his brother did but turned a blind eye. That is until he is fed to a meat grinder by the Russians who mistook him for Barry. He dies and moves to heaven.

On getting to heaven, Walter looks for a way to reincarnate, as he believes he was wrongfully murdered and his wife Hannah is almost due. He steps into the temple of Lord Ganesh, a Hindu God, and implores his case; Ganesh agrees to send him back as a chihuahua, advising him to do good, collect good karma, and produce his movie to get a shot at having his old body back. Walter accepts and arrives on earth as a chihuahua, a talking one. How would Walter convince his brother to turn a new leaf? Or produce Ganesh's movie? Would he ever regain his human form? The pages of The Karma Kaper by Noel Anenberg hold the answers to these questions.

I had always wondered what happened when one died, and this book gave some insight, which I was very interested in. Walter's arrival in heaven showed an advancement over what we knew. We had never really thought about heaven being Google-controlled; that was interesting to witness. It is quite unfortunate what happened to Walter; however, as Lord Ganesh said, he was mute about his brother's illegal activities, which cost him. This book was written in the third person and is centered around Walter and his experiences as a chihuahua. I admired him in a way; it must not have been easy to think logically in a chihuahua's body.

This book perfectly blended suspense, mystery, humor, and fiction. The author did a good job in the explication of the theme. I also enjoyed how the author made Walter's life as a chihuahua interesting. The book uses simple dialogue to convey its thoughts. No doubt everyone would have an easy time understanding the storyline. One scene in which FDR was sent to the masseuse stood out because I found it funny. This book is quite sure to give its audience a good time.

The only thing I disliked about the story was its inconclusive nature. Some questions concerning Walter's a chihuahua/human nature were left unanswered. Also, Barry seemed not to have gotten what he deserved. However, apart from these, every event added up to the next. The book was professionally edited, as I only found one error while reading.

The Karma Kaper by Noel Anenberg receives a full rating of 5 out of 5 from me for its exciting plot and intense humor. I recommend this book to audiences interested in mystery, fantasy, and action thrillers.

Wow what a lovely story to tell. I love the uniqueness of this plot. It's very orginal and hardly heard of. Reincarnating as a chihuahua will definitely be taking for our dear Walter
I would love to see the outcome of journey

[Favour Ozone]

I would like to read this book to see what Walter did when he was sent back to earth. Although, the plot of the book seems boring. I will still like to read it.

[Judy O]

Oh Poor Walter! I agree that it isn't fair what happened to him but he was also a spectator in his brother's affairs. I hope he collects enough good karma to return to his family. Beautiful review.

[Chris Azuka]

The book has an amazing storyline. I was fascinated and intrigued when I read, "on getting to heaven". I would love to know more about this story. Great review

[Grace Lee Rose]

I love the storyline, it's engaging and has an adequate level of suspense. I'll love to pick up a copy of this enigmatic book to see how the events would unfold. Thanks for a wonderfully written review.

[Silvia Idahosa]

My interest got spiked in the first 2 paragraphs. The story seems to be exciting, just as the reviewer mentioned. The idea of a human being coming back as a chihuahua sounds funny and interesting to read. I would definitely like to read this book. Beautiful review.

[Moo Reny]

Having a twin is such an amazing experience, I always wished to have a twin when I was young but having a mischievous twin can be terrible and it's a no no.
Great review

Firstly, what could be more interesting than having a twin, it would be such a wonderful experience, then there is reincarnation, which gives that feeling of finishing an unfinished business. Would love to read this book.

I am impressed by this review I read of this book. The plot and characters were described in a way that piqued my interest and left me wanting to know more. The review provided a detailed overview of the book, which only added to my desire to read it. The reviewer's perspective on the book was interesting and they were able to articulate their thoughts in a clear and concise way. Overall, I am definitely considering adding The Karma Kaper by Noel Anenberg, to my bookshelf and can't wait to dive into it.

[Park Cherri]

I really wonder what Chihuahua is. I’ll check it out. This is an interesting plot. He has unfinished business in earth, so he was given the chance to come back with a condition. Great review!

[Famzi Ken]

This is an unusual story. However, I do agree that a mischievous twin is often a problem for the other. That's one disadvantage I see in having an identical twin. Great review.

[CrossK]

Wow what a fascinating review from the beginning to the end of the review I was thrilled can’t wait to read the stories. Great work!

[Chimezie Agbata]

Wow I have also wanted to read a book that discusses life after death. I was so captivated by the cover of this book. Your review was brilliant and well detailed. Good job

[Jay_shon03]

Jeez! I love the plot already. The author really brought to the fore his creative and imaginative skills. I am certain that Walter will get his wish but how to go about it is what I want to know.

I enjoyed reading your review
