This was entertaining......curious as to how out of date it is, regarding the experience of interns. I didn't necessarily love the style of the writing. It reminded me of a weak attempt to write in the style of Catcher in the Rye (a book which I ultimately dislike but which does have a distinct voice). I agree with one review that I read who commented that this book made her think "so what?" What he seems to present as being "shocking" about the treatment of the ill and the dehumanization of the elderly doesn't have nearly as much punch to it as I believe the author expects. Perhaps because the medical field is no longer on the same pedestal that it was when the book was written? Regardless, I enjoyed this but wouldn't read it again. And I would be reluctant to recommend it to someone unless I really knew what they liked in a book.

This was an enjoyable book, easy to read with compelling stories and good case files. The format of creating a day in the life was a creative way to approach the genre. A good book for animal lovers who are interested in the world of veterinary medicine.

I, like many others, have been waiting forever for this book. I loved the initial trilogy when I read it in high school, and continued to fall in love with them as the series continued. This book was both a joy and a disappointment. I was glad my favorite characters were featured more heavily than in the last book, and some of my less favored characters were more absent. I very much enjoyed reading it - that being said, I mostly enjoyed it because I'm already six-books-invested in this series. I'm already on board with the world and the story line. This books focuses on pushing some of the story lines along to get characters where they need to be for the next aspect of the narrative. I would be much more sympathetic to this (a common complaint about mid-series volumes) if it weren't for the fact that now we will most likely have to wait several years to find out what all of that positioning has been moving towards. For a book that took so long to come out, with no plans for an immediate sequel, it didn't have much of its own plot.

I still loved it though - I just want to recognize that I loved it because I love the whole series, not because I loved this particular installment of it.

This book is one of my absolute favorites from childhood. The premise can make you sound a bit insane if you try to describe it to anyone - seriously, a book told from the perspective of a bunch of rabbits? However, it is a classic tale of an epic journey told from a creative perspective. Richard Adams makes you believe in the backstory, and believe in the characters. They feel very real...and at the same time, they feel very much like rabbits. A copy of this will always have a prominent place on my shelves.

If you enjoy reading about the history of philosophy, this is a great book. It presents the history of ideas, and the strange ways that thoughts come about. If you're not interested in the subject material, this is not a book that will spark it. If you are new to philosophy, then this book will definitely drag in places where the author goes into depth about the arguments between the various thinkers in history. As someone with a graduate degree in the philosophy of religion, this was fascinating and enjoyable. It was outside the focus of my field, which made it a "for fun" read to me. Highly recommended - for the right reader.

I absolutely adore this book. It's one of the few books that can have me giggling in public places every time. Personally, it only gets better with re-reading. That being said, it's not for everyone. There's a certain sense of humor that is going to love it and if you don't have it this book will just leave you scratching your head. On the plus side, it's a very quick read. So if you don't enjoy it and are the kind of person who can't quite halfway through, you won't have to suffer for long. There are a million inside jokes that people who have read and loved it will get, and you can often use them during small talk to see if a new friend might become part of your inner circle.

It's amazing how many cases can require a forensic anthropologist. Personally, I greatly enjoyed the first few seasons of this series. There's a good back and forth between Booth and Bones. I enjoy going back to the early seasons of this when I'm in the mood for a slightly different take on the crime procedural.

The narrator annoyed me, the dog training techniques as well as how he goes about acquiring his dogs irked me. It's not that I'm against only investing in purebreds - I think there's good reasons for both mutts/shelter dogs and breeders. But this man made a number of mistakes and didn't really apologize for them. As a writer, his characterizations of the people involved in his life were one-dimensional and frustrating. And knowing the truth about what happened to the dog doesn't help his case.
