All Creatures Bright And Beautiful


http://www.amazon.com/Things-Bright-Beautiful-James-Herriot/dp/0312966199


theres like 7 books in the series, its about a vet and his life as a vet, the first book has alot about when he was something of an apprentice and so forth, i enjoyed them, read them in like 5th grade LOL


oh, here is the first book
http://www.amazon.com/Creatures-Great-Small-James-Herriot/dp/0312330855/ref=pd_sim_b_3

I like animals an stuff but i dunno

they are really quite good, i could answer each of your essay questions just off of what i remember from reading the first 3 books, and that was, oh, 8 years ago?


the stories are very interesting, you get a good look into his life and experiences, alot of the stories he tells are very touching, i actually wanted to be a vet after reading it, until i saw it takes 8 years of college, at least

It takes three books to answer those question

no, im sure you could do it off one, just saying its been 8 years since i read them


if your even part way into reading and animals, im sure once you pass that first book you will want to read the next anyhow :-P

400pages isnt all that long either, i just finished 3 books totaling over 2500 in the past 2 weeks or so
