I picked up this book as an "add on" to other biographical writing I was studying for a Creative Writing Course. During the course I didn't get chance to read it; I have seen and heard about Monty Roberts work and decided to read the book for pleasure.
It's an incredible story told simply and with great warmth. There are no pretensions - he just tells it how it is and is very generous with his description of his techniques and the highs and lows of his life's work. This is his (and his familys) story, his journey and his observations on this most noble of animals and their language. It's a mark of incredible generosity that he has put it down in words. I have been brought up with horses and understood how you treat ... Read More: >>More Details |

This book is certainly an excellent read. It is particularly good if as a medical doctor like myself you gain insight into the medical experience and life of a colleague battling and struggling with similar difficult decisions. Medicine often comes across to the non-medical world as an exact and perfect science. I suspect much of this comes from us within the medical profession as we speak so confidently of diagnoses that are often times just educated guesses. Reading this book will open your eyes to the struggles we have as doctors on a daily basis in determining the ultimate result - the best possible care and outcome for the individual patient.

This is a good place to start if you are yet to read James Herriot. It is the one I read when I was a teenage schoolboy in New Zealand before I went to sleep at night. Now at the age of 43 and living in England, I am still returning to re-read Herriot's books from time to time. He takes the reader into a place and a life that strikes me as one I would love to be a part of. He offers the reader inciteful tales of humour, hardship, humanity and wisdom all set in the extraordinary landscape of rural North Yorkshire. I cannot think of a critical word to say about this author. James Herriot has left a legacy that will continue to bring joy, peace and incite to those who have the fortune to read his books. Although not intended or regarded as works ... Read More:

After buying the first of Jackie's books (The Funny Farm), I read it from cover to cover, laughing out loud pretty much all the way.
This book is just as un-put-downable. If you enjoyed the first, you'll enjoy this one too. Highly recommended. >>More Details |

I too had to read it more than once...
What's the point of the author indulging in a 'Chautauqua' on 'Romantic' & 'Classic' 'Values', with the resultant (extravagant) soliloquy on the 'Value' of 'Quality', when the author can't even work out how to relate to his own child (who having spent the majority of his formative years in apparent mental turmoil - brought on by the behaviour of the author, as described in this book - was murdered in San Francisco 2 weeks before his 23rd birthday)? This book is just another example of self-indulgence sold off as enlightenment... What's the point? There is NO point. >>More Details |

I love James Herriott-he has the gift to not only be very funny, but very touching. Reading his books can sometimes make you feel nostalgic towards an era you never knew. His love for life, even when things are going slightly pear shaped, transpires in all his stories and is a delight to behold. You end up feeling like you knew all the people in the stories-Siegfried, Triston...He really lets you into his world.

The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst (Sailor's Classics)by: Nicholas Tomalin, Ron Hall 2003-06 Best Selling > Books > Science, Mathematics and Technology |

This is a wonderful book about a truly remarkable, moving and literally tragic misadventure. I first stumbled across Donald Crowhurst's story through a terrific Channel 4 feature film, Deep Water, and was so captivated by it that I bought this and another account of the race (fellow competitor Bernard Moitessier's The Long Way (which, for the record, doesn't really touch on the Crowhurst story)).
The Bard himself could not have scripted a tragedy better than this. Crowhurst, a mercurial but fundamentally unremarkable director of a struggling electronics business, hits upon a means of saving his business and assuring his family's future: entering (and winning) the 1968 Sunday Times single-handed non-stop round-the-world yacht race.

I just re-read this book, having recommended it to a friend, and was once again swept up in its remarkable story. Wolfe takes you back to the start of the space race, and shows how the first American astronauts were perceived as single combat heroes of the Cold War. The tale is told in a unique style, somewhere between novel and non-fiction, and Wolfe's distinctive phrases continue to rattle around in my head some twenty years after I first read the book. So-and-so "screwed the pooch", for example, or "it can blow at any seam", or "His Majesty the Baby of thirty years ago". Momeorable stuff.
