I really like the TV series on PBS and I wanted to read it directly from the source. There are a couple differences—most notably Mrs. Hall is only mentioned occasionally and briefly. I also wish there had been more about Helen. Otherwise, the show was faithful to the material.
It's written less as a story with a beginning, middle, and end but more as a collection of anecdotes and episodes. Makes it really easy to pick it up and read a couple chapters here and there and then go read something else. If I hadn't borrowed it, I probably would've gone through it at a much more leisurely pace.
That being said, it's a relaxing and enjoyable read. There were even a couple times I laughed out loud. I'll probably make my way through the rest of the memoirs at some point.

Debo decir que los personajes de la serie (el remake, no la antigua) no son tan carcas como en los libros. Pero sí han sabido mostrar lo entrañables que son y lo que disfrutan siendo veterinarios de campo.
Las descripciones de los paisajes y del trabajo que hacen son muy evocadoras y es fácil imaginarse allí mientras las lees.
