review 1: This is one of those charming books that grows on you. Though not a memoir, the novel is based on the authors own experiences. I thought it read like a memoir.Normally, I can't handle books with animals because I get too worried about the animals. I thought that this might be a little too emotional for me. Only one part was too graphic for me. A quick click of the forward button on my Nook and I didn't have to read that part.The characters are a bit eccentric. You think the employees are a little off and then you meet the customers! Their quirks made them all the more likeable. They seem like the type of people you might meet in your every day life. Parts of the book are tense as some of the situations the animals are in are dire. Others are downright funny. It's... more a good balance and made for a good read.
review 2: This was a freebie on my Nook and it sounded lighthearted which is something I needed as I'm tackling a huge book at the same time. Each chapter is a different tale of life in a British vet clinic for a newly practicing doctor. The author had some very well created "characters" obviously based on some of his real clients. There were bits of humor, but beware, it is British humor and lost on some non-Brits. Some of the puns made me want to roll my eyes instead of laugh.Recommend this book for easy reading to break the boredom of waiting in lines, doctors offices, etc as you don't have to keep track of what's happening as there's no plot to these tales. They are simply cute little slices of life to fill some time. And it was free, so win-win! less
