Our book club's choice for April

This is the book we are reading for April. I LOVE animals so I'm very much looking forward to reading this book.

Apparently, the story is told as a series of memories by a 90+ year old man, Jacob Jankowski, who was a veterinarian and now lives in a nursing home.

Has anyone read it?

Did you like it?

Will I need kleenex???

BTW, great blog, I'm really enjoying it.

in case anyone would like to join and suggest books for us.

I am having a hard time finding this book, so I hope I can nail down a copy in time to read it for our next meeting.

Found you on the Canadian Blog Hop.

As far as a Kleenex goes, there were a few times it made me cry but I'm highly sensitive to the issue. I don't want to give anything away so I won't elaborate.

thanks for stopping by my blog, good luck with the A to Z (I'm now following)

Thanks for visiting my blog. I am now following yours, as well. I have read this bok--when it first came out. I really liked it a lot. Don't remember needing tissues, but it was awhile ago, so you may want to have some just in case.
Enjoy! See you during A to Z Challenge!!!

At April 2, 2011 at 10:34 AM , Unknown said...: It's a great book. I loved every word of it. I'm nervous about the movie, though. I'm not sure Reese Witherspoon was the right choice for Marlena. I'd have gone with someone like Zooey Deschanel.

Hope you enjoy, though!
