Yesterday, readers of my blog got the chance to read the very first chapter of ‘Beneath the Moon and the Stars’ by Amelia Thorne which is now out on Saturday 18th October. Today you can read the second chapter.
Beneath the Moon and the Stars – Chapter 2
Enjoy! 🙂
‘Pets Aplenty’ is Malcolm Welshman’s third novel, published in August of this year by Austin Macauley Publishers Ltd. I love reading about animals so it was a real pleasure to be given the opportunity to review this book.
Paul Mitchell is a novice vet working at Prospect House Veterinary Hospital. His days there are never exactly dull. He finds himself treating a variety of animals including a vicious miniature donkey and a farting dog. Even when he’s not at work Paul finds that he can’t get away from them.
I started reading ‘Pets Aplenty’ on Monday. I wasn’t feeling particularly well and wanted to snuggle up with a light-hearted book. One of my favourite parts was the chapter where Paul, relaxing on his afternoon off, was confronted by a rather ravenous pig whilst he was in the nude sunbathing in a cornfield. Hilarious!
I liked Paul as a character. I thought he was good with the animals and pretty brave. I felt sorry for him regarding his personal life. Though Paul was good at puns I do wish he hadn’t come out with quite so many.
I found ‘Pets Aplenty’ to be amusing, touching and a bit sad at times. I thought the last chapter was brilliantly thought out. If you like animals I recommend reading this book.
I give this book 4 out of 5.
