I don't re-read books much, but I've read this 3 times for some reason. Great escape into the nature of rural England and a look into the lives of the most impressive people you never hear about in life...

It’s not horrible, but nothing spectacular either. Some parts  were quite endearing, but  most of the book was just fluff. 

A lot of talk about intimate details of a country veterinarian’s day to day (blood letting, uterine prolapses, etc.), not in a crass way but frequent. There absolutely no character growth but I not sure I expected that from 24-30 year old country veterinarians. I also had a really hard time with the complete disregard to their personal safety, every story includes some tidbit of them being needlessly careless in a lighthearted, flippant way.
