Of course, when you write a book like this you are going to pick your most exciting experiences and tell them in a way that emphasizes the story and highlights the adventure. I can't help wondering how much of that was going on here in order to sell the hope of the documentary, but then again what reader wants to read about you putting a little antibiotic cream on a docile animal and sending it on its happy way. Well, maybe I would have liked a little of that balance, but I didn't miss the simple stories like that either, there were plenty of good tales in this book that kept me turning the pages. You expect dramatic vet visits in Africa and this book delivers that almost too perfectly.
It was a great little travel read and I did think it was a good educator without sounding too preachy... Except for the documentary mentions, which seemed about as frequent as I have put them in here. I wasn't sold on that scheme much.… (altro)
