*yes, I know this is a book review blog, but all of his books are basically the same kind of amazing*
one sentence summary:
James Herriot (aka Alf Wright) was a small town English farm vet, he recounts his experience with wit and candour.
Review:
James Herriot speaks of his own experiences as a farm vet and that really shines through in his stories. he writes in a way that is down to earthy and entertaining, making you almost want to be his vet assistance, but then he will go into details of his practice that will make you glad you work retail (or whatever you do) instead. the characters are all wonderful and the stories are all unforgettable. The format of his writing makes it an easy read, a collection of short rememberings. It makes an ordinary life into something extraordinary. I recommend anyone who likes animals and humour check his writing out!
8/10
