James Herriot

James Herriot.

Incase you're wondering who this is, James Herriot is a writer who mainly bases his books on his veterinary practice. I wouldn't recommend these books for anyone under 13. (some of his descriptions are a little inappropriate) He has a very unique outlook on daily life and almost always has clear writings.

My favorite books are:

If Only They Could Talk

-and-

Cat Stories

I enjoyed reading James Herriot.

I think my favourite book was "It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet".

It always made me smile that James Herriot could make fun of himself and the situations he got into

(I do have the feeling that I read several of his books when I was around 11 or 12yrs old... but I could have been older I suppose. I don't remember anything "inappropriate" - unless you mean descriptions of animal illnesses / activities that he talks about). I don't remember any really bad language or porn for instance)

That's what I meant, but in my experience, younger kids don't always know what the medical terms mean, and I made the mistake once of asking my mum what a testicle was. XD

{ie, He goes into deep description on how to birth a calf..}
