A must read for all

I'm mostly a fantasy scifi guy but I'm also an animal lover and I picked up this book on a whim. I wound up reading all the books in the series and ended up loving them all and wishing there were more. This guy can really write and tell a story. What a gifted man. Great Vet and Writer. I must read for all. You will laugh out loud and at times shed a tear. This is great stuff. You cant go wrong.

Great Book

This was a great book. I decided to read it because I like animals, and I'm so glad I did. I loved this book; it was really funny and exciting. I am definitaly going to read more of his books and watch the tv show if it's ever on anymore. I think triston is hilarious. I would reccomend reading this; it was great.

PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST ENJOYABLE BOOKS I HAVE READ

I have enjoyed reading this work over the years as well as the other books in the servies. This story, autobiographical, of a English Vet just before the war, and later, after the war, is truely one of the top gems to be published over the past fifty years as far as reading pleasure goes. The author is a natural story teller and truely a very, very good writer, actually, quite polished. I certainly won't go into the plot or the story here as many others have already done so, but will, as I have, remark of the skill of this writer and the enjoyment his stories bring. I admit to being one of those who have collected his work and tend to reread each book in the series ever so often. Highly recommend this work. I am sure you will enjoy it.

A great read

I am not a big reader, but I am a animal lover. This is my all time favorite book, I cant stop from re-reading the whole series over and over again. A lovely book to settle in with before bed, or on a rainy day.

A wonderful story

All Creatures Great and Small was a wonderful book, definitely one of my favorites. It was about animals, which was what drew me to the book to begin with. The book draws you in, not really in a suspenseful way, but in a way that makes you just want to keep reading. Also, James Herriot tells wonderful stories and is willing to make fun of himself and situations he was in, some of which were his fault. It was fun getting to experience his first few years as a country vet along with him. You also get to witness his relationships with animals and the people around him. Plus, all the characters are realistic and you believe all the situations that they are in.
Even though there were a lot of good things about this book, there were also a few things that I did not like. The author was Scottish and he lived in Yorkshire so some of the language was kind of confusing and often you had to guess at what the words meant. In the beginning it was a little confusing, because usually each chapter talks about a different event in the authors life, but as you read you get used to that. Also, some parts of the book could get kind of long and repetitive, but most parts kept your attention quite well. Overall, I though it was a very, very good book that I would definitely recommend.
