All Creatures Great and Small Paperback – May 6, 2014

Enjoying this book after several seasons on TV. Book is very different from TV show, but good reading. Short chapters complete each animal visit.

enjoyed every page. the stories and characters captured my heart. highly recommend this book to everyone who likes animals and humor

This book is written by the most popular and well known vet in the world. He has written from real life, letting youinto the world of a vet from the late30's until his death. That life was hard but his stories about the animals and their owners leave you in tears, laughter, and awe.

Wonderfully written, timeless story. Reading this again before giving to grandchildren.

Overall this is an enjoyable read, the writing is good, the characters are humorous and the tales in each chapter are interesting. It took me longer to read than it should have, though, because many chapters felt like little stand alone stories, nothing urged me to get to the next chapter to see what happened. I can see why this has been successfully turned into a TV series, the writing falls into “45 minute episodes “ nicely.

This is my second read and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. I highly recommend the book to anyone who loves animals and wants to learn a lot about what a veterinary doctor does.

This book was a joy to read. The people are so well described and simple events are always written with wit and candor. Made me feel like I was actually there.I am already looking forward to the next one.

What a wonderful memoir of a a life back when the world was simple and less complicated. I enjoyed this book to the fullest.
