The
book is very enjoyable to read. It is quite addictive. Herriot uses a writing
style that is pleasant. He is descriptive without rambling. Each character
is well-developed, and the setting sounds like a beautiful place to be. Because it
is written in first person, the reader feels included and like a part of the
story. The reader is constantly rooting for the young veterinarian despite the
odds. This story really plays with the reader’s emotions. At times, the reader
may laugh at Siegfried’s ridiculous forgetfulness or Tristan’s seemingly never-ending
bad luck. Other times the reader may find himself raging at the utter stupidity
and absurdity at the way some farmers treat their animals. There is also
suspense, joy, amazement, and sadness. The book serves its office well. It is
truly a very entertaining novel.
