What readers think of Ever By My Side, plus links to write your own review.

You might think that a book about a veterinarian would have a limited audience. That's not the case with "Ever By My Side" It not only deals with how one man is affected by the animals in his life but how it lead him to choose his career. I t also explores his relationship with his father who had a different life plan for Dr. Nick. It shares the impact of animals on Nick's children.

The writer's style is conversational and makes you want to listen to all he has to say. Some of his stories are funny and remind you of the animals in your own life. I couldn't put this book down, I loved it.

The author of this heartwarming memoir had me hooked by page 8. He shares stories of how animals have had a profound impact in his life and on his human relationships - with his father, as a father himself and husband, and as a veterinarian. It made me laugh and cry with the memories of my own loved pets. I highly recommend for animal lovers, young and old and for book groups where it would raise some interesting discussions.

I'll adored this book. From it's opening paragraphs, I was hooked. Nicholas Trout is a wonderful storyteller and writes in an engaging and captivating way. His characters, both human and animal, come vividly alive on the pages of this enchanting book. The portrait of his parents, especially his father, is particularly powerful. I laughed and I cried in almost equal measure throughout the course of this emotionally charged and exceptionally satisfying book. I highly recommend this book. A delightful read with many lessons to be learned from both the humans and pets in this book.
