Never Work With Animals by Gareth Steel

adventurous dark emotional funny informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I’ve seen this book branded as Adam Kay’s hilarious memoir in vet form. I have to say, I can’t really agree with that statement. It was definitely insightful, eye opening + interesting, and there were some parts that were funny, but a lot of the book was very info-heavy with more political + ethical discussion than I’d been anticipating. I had picked this up wanting to hear about the life of a vet + his patients, not necessarily to hear so many opinions. 

Nonetheless, this was a raw + honest autobiography, detailing the good, the bad + the downright ugly of veterinary medicine, that was both educational and thought provoking.
