Book Reviews of Birds, Beasts, and Relatives
Book Review: Classic Durrell: wonderfully funny
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a huge fan of Gerald Durrell's books since childhood, especially the ones that his family features in, predominantly. This is the follow up to My Family and Other Animals and it is just as much fun!
Highly recommended.
Book Review: Good product
Summary: 5 Stars
The books arrived in perfect condition and in very good time. I am completely satisfied.Book Review: More adventures in Corfu
Summary: 3 Stars
Gerald Durrell has written quite a few books, including 3 about his life as a young boy on the Greek Island of Corfu. This is the middle book of the trilogy and is not as funny as the other two (My Family and Other Animals and In the Garden of the Gods). He relates various stories about his childhood which involved ranging far and wide on the island observing and collecting various animals, birds and insects. The stories are pleasant and interesting, just not laugh out loud funny like his other books. I did enjoy it.
I wouldn't recommend for middle school because one story contains pretty graphic detail of a peasant woman giving birth.
