Too Brief, Unrelated Compendium of Simplistic Articles,
By Hilary P. (Bear Creek, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pet Loss and Human Bereavement (Paperback)
I purchased this book impressed by its title, in need of solace for the wound of euthanizing a deeply loved companion/pet. I was stunned by the political nature of the author-editor's opening essay, in effect a judgment of euthanasia (a blanket judgment). I came quickly to feel that the intent of this work--if not of the individual articles culled from a variety of sources--was to preach covertly against euthanasia. At any rate, I could not find a unifying theme to the disparate articles, and certainly the title is misleading. Any reader who wants a book to help with bereavement and grief will instead find very brief, clinical discussions of subjects like the difficulty of being a veterinarian; or how emotionally-troubled children react to pet loss.
Highly clinical, confusing, and often superficial work. |
