Book Reviews of Every Living Thing

Book Review: Great reading!
Summary: 5 Stars

"I'm gonna charge 'im a tenner!"

My mother saw I had a small interest in reading when I was a child, and thankfully gave me these books to read with her reccomendation. Loved them all and have read them multiple times over 20 years and I still get great enjoyment from the stories. James Herriot has a great writing style that sets the stage for the reader better than any other author in my (admittedly limited)experience with reading. This great author can set up the scene, fill it with people, tell you what they are doing and saying, with such grace and ease.....it's almost like he had a teflon tip pen. Just smooothe. All of his books are the type that you start reading to pass a little time and "wake up" and realize you've devoured half the book in one sitting! Funny, Emotional, Interesting, and entertaining with great lessons to be learned by the character's behavior. I felt like I was there with him the whole time-from the plane in India,or the boat, or even his favorite spot at the top of the town. What a great privilege we have too be able to read, re-read and pass these great books to other loved ones.
I also enjoy how the chapters are (for the most part)stories all on their own, without requiring sequential reading. Great on the go for commutes and stuff.
Also can someone explain to a dumb American why the British had so many names and nicknames for their currency?!?!

Summary of Every Living Thing

James Herriot's final work and last in his beloved series of animal stories

This fifth and final of James Herriot's heartwarming story collections brings back familiar friends (including old favorites such as Tricki Woo) and introduces new ones, including Herriot's children Rosie and Jimmy and the marvelously eccentric vet Calum Buchanan.

As James grows older, he finds that change comes even to his beloved Yorkshire---but not necessarily bad, as he watches his own two children come to share and participate in his deep love of the animal world. Herriot's last memoir, Every Living Thing is a truly heartwarming read, burstingly full of his deep joy in life, sense of humor, and appreciation of the world around him.
