jlgrey's review against another edition
4.0
I LOVE Jon Katz. I've read all his books, and I consistently read his Slate column and his blogs on his website. Because of this I was a little disappointed in his book (though I'm still going to his book reading today!) because it expands on stories that I'd already read. For those not so obsessive about his writing, it will be a pleasant and interesting read.
susanhert's review
Generally, I'm a sucker for stories about animals and their quirky ways, but this book is not so much about this as about the person who keeps these animals for little reason other than to write about them, it would seem. And, while I like a good memoir, I don't really find this author's commentary on his rural life all that entertaining. It's a fairly mindless read, which is what I wanted when I got it from the library, but I'm going to give the rest of the book a pass.
