You know, Goodreads tells me that I started this book way back in October of 2013, but I don't remember opening the front cover until a couple weeks ago. Boy, am I glad I picked it back up. As you can see, I carted this bad boy around with me so much I wore the front cover off. But that's okay!
I would have never thought I'd be chuckling along with a story as a man has his arm fully lodged in an animal's extremities but here we are. Sometimes the language is a little hard to interpret from a number of farmers James Herriot encounters, but the author usually gives enough context that it is easy enough to tell what is going on. I would definitely recommend this book to almost anyone. It really doesn't matter if you like veterinary science or not- it's hilarious, it's warm-hearted, it's extremely relatable; even to someone who has never studied small animal anatomy or has performed any type of surgery. On Goodreads, I gave this book 5 stars out of 5, which it honestly deserves. A great easy 500 page or so read.
