5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful,
By Benjamin (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whispering Land (Mass Market Paperback)
Even for a person with an insufferably short attention span, I was not once bored during this book. It's not a thriller, or anything of the sort, but it managed to truly involve the reader in the author's journey.The story of an Englishman who is on a trip through Patagonia to collect animals for his own private zoo, this book manages to bring out the animal lover in any reader. The descriptions of the land, the people, and the animals are beautifully crafted in well done, straight forward prose. I highly recommend it.

This book started me on Durrell,
By "cos2001" (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whispering Land (Mass Market Paperback)
Durrell is wonderful at describing both animals and people and one gets the feeling one's there, with him, sleeping under a car and trying to keep warm by smoking a cigarrette, or in flight to Jujuy, sitting by a fat and talkative lady, or in Buenos Aires, sorting cars at I don't know how many miles an hour. Absolutely terrific!
