This is a quick read, despite the unusual format. It's written as journal entries in a rural veterinarian's logbook. He records what calls he had, his encounters with his clients - animals and their people - his random musings along the way, and interactions with his own family. As the book goes on, and his 12-year-old son ends up in a coma from a hunting accident, these entries grow more lengthy.
He also receives mysterious calls - a hanger-upper who finally starts to speak a few words after several weeks.
I enjoyed the book and found the characters well-drawn. I don't know that it's one I would re-read in the future. I don't feel there were a lot of layers or sussing out of details. But I would recommend it as a nice window on the life of a father and husband doing what he can to keep going when things get difficult.
