Book Reviews of Every Living Thing (Audio Renaissance Tapes/Volume 1 & 2)Book Review: Animal lover? Summary: 5 StarsLooking for a quick fix for your animal-loving heart? This is it! Each chapter can be read in a sitting and each has a different story about Mr.. Herriot's life as a country vet. Each story builds the lives and area around him, but each chapter has a beautiful and loving story about this wonderful man and his never-ending love for all creatures!
Book Review: Reading to feel good. Summary: 5 StarsI have just finished this book after having read the other books in the series many years ago. The magic is still there. I would not ordinarily be attracted to a book of animal stories but the animals in Dr. Herriot's practice are a stage for something more. The author gives the reader a slice of life from a different time and a different place (Yorkshire). I was quickly enamored with the characters and the telling. This book is really about gentle spirits, kind humor, unpretentious people, dedicated lives. Reading it makes the heart glad.
Book Review: Welcome back! Summary: 4 StarsThis is my fifth review of a James Herriot title, and if you've missed my first four reviews because you live in a cave, I presume you've heard of the TV series called All Creatures Great And Small. That was based on the first collection of wonderful tales from a Yorkshire veterinarian, or possibly the first few. More than a decade passed between this book and the one before it, and I believe this was his last original book. At first there is a dip in the quality we've come to expect, but once he gets back into his groove, it's every bit as entertaining as its predecessors, and I hated that it ended. It's well worth reading and I enjoyed it immensely.
Book Review: Good reading Summary: 5 StarsI read his books as a teen and loved them. Bought the whole set for my grandsons, [teens]. They laughed until they cried. [so did I].
Book Review: Every Living Thing Summary: 5 StarsI read this book many years ago, I enjoy animal stories, I loved books by James Herriot, I read all of his books, the one perchased recently was a gift for my grandaughter who likes animal stories.
