All Things Bright and Beautiful // by James Herriot // narrated by Nicholas Ralph
I'm honestly not sure there is much to say here. I absolutely adore Nicholas Ralph as the narrator and am so sad to have finished this second audiobook already. He has made this experience so absolutely charming and I couldn't imagine a better narrator for these books. I laughed out loud so many times and he helped me remember why I had wanted to be a veterinarian for so long. The emotions he put into this story... I don't even know how to describe it. I loved using these audiobooks as palette cleansers in between other audiobooks. They are just so easy to pick up and put back down as there are many small stories put together to give us a glimpse into the life of James Herriot, country veterinarian.
I previously recommended these audiobooks for families but I now have to put a disclaimer on that: there is a lot of talk about drinking alcohol as well as drinking and driving in these books. Please remember that these stories happened a long time ago when that was not yet illegal. I myself was raised in Germany so this wasn't an issue for me as alcohol isn't a taboo topic there like it often feels here around children. I still think these books can be a fun experience together if you are prepared to explain those scenes if needed.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
