A Wonderful Read!

This is one of my favorite series, along with one of my favorite narrators. Such heart warming and funny stories…I can’t help but laugh, smile and sometimes get teary-eyed.

long favorite

Awesome as an audiobook. Love that they are read by Christopher Timothy. A wonderful depiction of the James Herriott stories.

[Wish the author's son's book also had whispersync. Haven't read it yet, in part a biography of the real man who wrote under a pen name. Own a copy & will read it though.]

Brilliant!!

Wonderfully warm personable stories about life!! The people described by James Herriot were interesting and I felt like I was there. It was a time period piece that I felt like I was apart of. Fabulously written!!

Good author

The book, as always by James Herriott, is interesting and funny. The only reason I don't rate his audio books five stars is because of the odd music that the audio book producers have inserted at intervals. It's very distracting. I listen to the books when I can't sleep at night, so the music is jarring when trying to relax.

No need for music!

The story and performance are great and enjoyable to listen to. The occasional music interludes are, however, not needed and actually interrupt the flow of the narrative. It's a small thing but becomes increasingly annoying as the story progresses.
