Novela Humor

Una desternillante novela sobre el secreto de la felicidad que ya ha hecho reír a un millón de lectores en Alemania. La presentadora de televisión Kim Lange está en el mejor momento de su carrera cuando sufre un accidente y muere aplastada por el lavabo de una estación espacial rusa. En el más allá, Kim se entera de que ha acumulado mal karma a lo largo de su vida: ha engañado a su marido, ha descuidado a su hija y ha amargado a cuantos la rodean. Pronto descubre cuál es su castigo: está en un agujero, tiene dos antenas y seis patas… ¡es una hormiga! Kim no tiene ganas de ir arrastrando migas de pastel. Además, no puede permitir que su marido se consuele con otra. Sólo le queda una salida: acumular buen karma para ascender por la escalera de la reencarnación y volver a ser humana. Pero el camino para dejar de ser un insecto y convertirse en un ser bípedo es duro y está plagado de contratiempos.

Es gracioso, pero "Jesús me quiere" me ha gustado más. ( )

Novela corta y entretenida, sin mayores pretensiones, sobre una presentadora de televisión que muere en circunstancias bastante curiosas y se encuentra con que toda su vida ha sido una mala persona y debe recuperar karma. La lectura es fácil y hay algún punto divertido, además de otros muchos que me han hecho sonreír. Divertida y fácil. ( )

Book description
Animatrice de talk-show, Kim Lange est au sommet de sa gloire quand elle est écrasée par une météorite. Dans l'au-delà, elle apprend qu'elle a accumulé beaucoup trop de mauvais karma au cours de son existence. Non seulement elle a négligée sa fille et trompé son mari, mais elle a rendu la vie impossible à son entourage. Pour sa punition, Kim se réincarne en fourmi. Et le pire reste à venir : de ses minuscule yeux d'insecte, elle voit une autre femme la remplacer auprès de sa famille. Elle doit au plus vite remonter l'échelle des réincarnations. Mais de fourmi à bipède, le chemin est long et les obstacles nombreux...
