So much more than about a storm, this book was beautiful, tragic, and informative. It took my breath away.

Just not my cup of tea. I want stories that help me make sense of the world I find myself in. This one just made me sad and hopeless.

I picked up this book used because I remembered loving All Creatures Great and Small. And this was not in the slightest bit less beautiful and touching. I don't know how he does it, but ... wow. Beautiful, touching, sad, and hopeful. An honest book that makes you either want to be a veterinarian yourself or have a healthier respect for them!
