One extraordinary read...:
James Herriot writes of his veterinary experiences as no one else could. Full of humor,sometimes sadness but always spellbinding and interesting. I could not put this book down.
Very entertaining "bathroom book":
Goes quickly, but he writes well and if you're a cat owner, you'll really develop a rapport with the cat stories in here. Not just for "cat ladies" - my husband picked it up and couldn't put it down.
10 Stars:
Look you haven't heard a story read until you've heard it read by Christopher Timothy!!!! This guy could make a phone book interesting to hear read! These stories are great! They'll have you laughing and crying! So becareful if you listen in your car ;0) I was driving my 18 wheeler down a rural road in Luisiana getting all teary eyed! Scary thought, right?
Cozy Recollections about Feline Companions:
James Herriot has a unique comforting writing style and relates his stories in such a way as to make them memorable from beginning to end. My mother who just returned from a month's stay in England brought me back this book as her best friend thought I would enjoy it. She was right. Each story is an invitation into a world of intriguing cats who need James Herriot's help. As a veterinarian he cares for numerous farm cats but also has the chance to save a cat who lived in a confectioners' shop who almost died from a hairball. There is a humerous story of one kitten who was adopted by a pig who had piglets and an fascinating story about a lost cat who loved to socialize anytime there were big groups of people present. Two of the best stories are about kittens who adopt James and his wife. They are fairly wild when they are first abandoned but with a little care and love become friendly and affectionate. If you love cats then I think you will find this book to be the type of book you want to read while snuggled up in your warm bed with the heating blanket on. This is a wonderful cozy read that I think you will really enjoy. ~The Rebecca Review
If you have ever owned cats!:
Terrific little book of stories about cats and if you have ever owned such feline creatures who own you - you don't own them, you will recognise the common traits of all cats in these little stories. Highly recommended, especially for the elderly who adore cats and will bring back memories of the characters their cats were.
