Book Reviews of All Things Bright and Beautiful
Book Review: Perfect for anyone who loves life!
Summary: 5 Stars
As not only an animal lover, but (hopefully) an up and coming veterinarian, James Herriots books seemed like a great thing to look into. Herriot's books bring the Yorkshire countryside directly into your home. He brings the world of hard work, late nights, confusing symptoms, and the unknown of a vets life into the readers heart, but at the same time he also shows the thrill of pulling an animal back from the brink of death or bringing another life into the world.
This wonderful combination starts off when Herriot leaves for the RAF to fight in World War II, but as he goes through basic training his mind (and the book) wanders back to his days in Darrowby doing what he loves best.
Book Review: Book assignment on a great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really great book and the only biography I've really ever liked. It's about a guy (James Herriot) who is a country vet. This has stories about his work at a pet show, him when he's trying to court his future wife, and it has a lot about the personalities of the animals he treated. It also has a lot of his blunders, like when he got drunk (accidentally, I think) and went out to a farm. The people there were really religious, and he found out the next day the despised drinking! He didn't go out there again. All in all, it was a really good book, and I recommend it for any animal lovers or future vets out there.Book Review: This book truely captures the rare beauty of being a vet
Summary: 5 Stars
This book truely reflects the escents of being a country vet on the Yorkshire Dales. It really captivates you and takes you on a journey to the town of Darrowby and surrounds you in the rich atmoshere. I have never been there myself but I feel as if I've lived there my whole life! This is a truly amazimg book I know that anyone who has read it would definetly agree that this book deserves my rating of five stars. James Harriot is most definetly the best author I have ever read!Book Review: a charming series
Summary: 5 Stars
I read these books when I was younger and last summer I went to Yorkshire, England. I was surprised to find that the locals actually spoke they way they did in the book. I never met anyone quite as amusing as the characters in this book, though. I re-read this book and found myself laughing out loud almost every chapter. This book is well-written and very amusing. I recommend this book to people of all ages.Book Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a book you will want to read again and again, just so you can relive a particularly funny moment. James Herriot is such a gifted story teller that he draws the reader right into the story. You truly feel as if you are standing by his side and observing what is happening. As you read you get a picture in your mind's eye of what is described in each page. Absolutely brilliant.
