A friend of mine recently told me that I need to read James Herriot's books. There's a series of five books and then some other independent books. She said they were really good.
Have any of you read any of them? And if you have are they really gory? I don't like a lot of blood and guts but I expect that there would be some stuff like that in the books.
If you've read them please tell me what you thought about them and whether or not you'd recommend them.

I have read one of his books. My friend (who at time wanted to be a vet) recommended his books to me. And my little sister has read few, she loves animals too. I am not a huge animal lover, so the book wasn't so fascinating for me. I don't think it was too gory. It was years ago when I read the book, and I don't really remember but I think I would remember if it was really disgusting. I guess his writing is realistic and charming.

I haven't read them, but I know that my mom has - and it seems very unlikely that she would read anything particularly gory.

When I was in high-school I used to want to be a veterinarian too. During that period of my life I read this series; I enjoyed reading these novels - they're very heart-warming tales and don't worry, they're not gory, at least I didn't think they were gory. But in order to gain experience, I volunteered at a veterinary hospital so my definition of 'gory' is probably a lot gorier than most people's definition of 'gory'. If you've ever watched CSI (or one of those CSI like/inspired television shows) before, or if you've ever read any crime fiction before, then I'm sure you'll be able to stomach this series. =)
