Title: Bogged down with inane details
Product review: I knew James Herriot was really Alf Wight, I didn't need to know that he had a rather embarrassing problem with his bum, that his wife was a bit of a witch and the names/dates of people who graduated from schools he attended. The pace is faltering and gets bogged down with all these inane details. In somewhat tumultuous times, James Herriot brought us a world of beauty, grace and humor. Graham Lord seems to be able to destroy that with a few chapters. The author gave himself so many pats on the back for his early review of Herriot's work, that I am surprised he can still stand straight!
