4.0 out of 5 stars Another warm winner from Herriot, Feb 4 2002

By	Westley (Stuck in my head) - See all my reviews

James Herriot has an easy-going and warm writing style that is incredibly suited to his stories. He chronicles the animals and people he helps as an active veternarian in Yorkshire, England. As such, the stories are usually more about the people and their attachment to their pets and livestock than they are about the animals themselves. Although the time period is not explicitly mentioned and he jumps around in time a great deal, this book seems to cover the period right after his preceeding book (The Lord God Made Them All), the late 50s and early 60s. Herriot's children are now 6-10 years old and play an increasing role in his practice. He also includes a touching series of stories about his and his wife's attempts to tame some farm cats. Every Living Thing was Herriot's final full-length original book, and it is an excellent end to an excellent series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful reading, Nov 21 2000

By A Customer

It was with a touch of sadness that I reached the end of this series about life as a country vet in Yorkshire. James Harriot was an outstanding storyteller and perhaps one of England's greatest ambassadors of good will! And by the end of this series, I felt as if we were old friends as well! We miss you Alf!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful End to a Fantastic Series of Books!, Sep 26 2000

By	D. Roach "Ozarkarts" (Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Every Living Thing (Audio Cassette)

I have read each of James Herriot's books many times (including this one) and still enjoy them every time I read them! This book is one of my favorite books of the series, and is highly recommended by me. If you have read the other books you will love this one just as much if not more! If you have not read any of the other books, this book would also be a good one to start off with. After reading it I can assure you that you will want to read all the others. NOTE: I also have all five of these books on audio tape (by Christopher Timothy) and would recommend these as well! It is great to listen to them while you do hobbies since you can actually do two things at the same time, and Christopher Timothy (who played James Herriot in the BBC series) really brings the characters to life, using different voices and accents.
