review 1: Aronson is a vet who makes his home in Cape Town. The vignettes in this book describe his adventures treating various wild creatures in South Africa and neighboring areas. The animal accounts are captivating, of course, as are the descriptions of the veterinary treatments. The writing is pedestrian and at times I got a bit tired of the author referring to his television show. Okay, but not a competitor to James Herriot.
review 2: This book is a delightful collection of short stories. The author, Dr. Aronson, has way of writing a story that makes you feel like your are there in the room with him. He fully explains the medical treatments in a way that you understand everything he's doing. Dr. Aronson tells stories from the domestic to the wild animals of Africa.

I, for some reason, can't focus on this book right now. I may check it out again someday.

Not quite as engaging as David Taylor, but very interesting nevertheless.

This book is TOO SHORT. I wanted a lot more stories.
