Whilst not a massive animal fan, nor having any specific interest in veterinary medicine or procedure, I was very pleased to note that I found myself rather enjoying the book.
The book is very well written, and offers a very interesting history of 1970s London from the perspective of the Canadian born vet. There are stories to make you laugh and others that will move you. I enjoyed the explanations about procedures and medications and how they would change over the years - all very interesting.
The picture the author paints of life in the 1970s is eye opening and colourful, rich with characters, and it is very interesting to hear how life was for someone just starting their career in a somewhat foreign country. It was interesting to read about the differences the author experienced from his home life in Canada to living in London, expressions, practices and beliefs, and how they shaped his professional and personal life.
Well worth a read!
