5.0 out of 5 stars
Very heartwarming book about animals.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Animals in My Life: Stories of a Country Vet (Hardcover)
The Animals in my Life is a very heartwarming book writtenin a style that is like sitting on your back porch on a summer afternoon and listening to your grandfather tell you neat stories about animals that have personalities. Quite emotional and yet a feel good book that you will want to read to your family and for yourself!

Animal Lovers Beware!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Animals in My Life: Stories of a Country Vet (Paperback)
I purchased this book hoping to fill the void that the passing of James Herriot has left. Grant Kendall's book falls far short of the warm, touchable, expansive writing style of James Herriot. Reading about a day in the life of vet Grant Kendall, I got the feeling that it's just business for him. He describes heart-wrenching situations with a detachment that I find disappointing. While certainly he does no harm to the animals that he serves, his means of expression does not clearly convey that he embraces them with the good brotherly grace of James Herriot. If you are looking to feel good while reading about animals, consider passing this book by. The author provides one painful story without leaving the reader with a speck of hope. That story haunts me still... And incidentally, he *hates* cows.
