Science blog review: June 14 2008
At once heart- quickening and clinically fascinating, the stories in this remarkable collection represent some of the most moving and unusual cases ever taken on by zoological vets. A chronicle of discovery, compassion, and cutting-edge medicine, THE RHINO WITH GLUE-ON SHOES is must reading for animal lovers, science buffs and anyone who loves a well-told tale.

The author ends their review with: "Overall, the essays were interesting, informative, and well written. Some end in sorrow, most have happy endings. What comes across in each is the love, respect, and dedication vets have for their patients. Definitely recommended."
And here's the first comment in response to the blog: "Thanks for reminding me about this one! I heard about it on NPR but had forgotten about it. I'm always a little wary of "animal books" because sometimes you get a side-dish of animal telepathy or some other such nonsense but I definitely want to check this one out."
