I
love cats, which probably had absolutely no influence on my liking of this
short book.
James
Herriot's style is a bit slow at times, but I really enjoyed it, especially the
gentle beauty and warmth. I also found
fascinating the interesting details of veterinary work in the near past.
At
times it felt a bit choppy, mostly because he referred to people I didn't know,
as if I should. I think this is because
many or all of these stories are excerpts from larger works. Though this deprived me somewhat of
understanding the relationship dynamics, it mostly made me want to read his
other works.
Oh,
and the illustrations are darling.
4.5 stars.
