Dog Days: Dispatches from Bedlam Farm Audiobook

" Lovely book about farm & Dogs. "

" I wanted to like this book a lot more than I did. The dogs were awesome, and the pictures were great, but this guy is no James Herriott. His writing was repetitive and just not all that interesting in a lot of places. I want to read about your kick-ass dogs, not the Grunt-and-Grumble-whatever. "

" If you love animals, dogs especially, you'll find this book a JOY to read. Have some tissues on hand. "

" Jon Katz has written several books about his dogs and their lives together. All are highly recommended. "

" A nice happy read about a man trying to do right by his dogs, and admitting he's not perfect. Humorous anectedotes about sheep, cows, dogs and people. I read this book when I want to feel better. "

" great for animal lovers & if you dream of quitting your corporate job & moving to the country, like me. "

" So far this book has made me realize that deep down I'd rather be outside all day working with the animals than sitting at a desk... even if I only live vicariously through this writer. Great book for those who wish the same... "

" Yes, I bought two books and am reading the second. It grows on you but I may not read more. "

" Not laugh-out-loud funny like Katz' A Dog Year, but still an amusing, insightful picture of life on Bedlam farm and what it's like to live with various dogs, roosters, cats, cows, sheep, etc. "

" Fun book for animal lovers. "

" Great story about modern and somewhat yuppified farming in eastern US. I learned a lot about dog herding behavior, donkeys, cows and sheep. I love border collies. "

" I am an animal lover and really enjoyed the author's journey through day to day life on his farm in upstate New York! "

" The jacket of this book calls Katz a modern day James Herriot. I wouldn't say that. Doesn't quite have Herriot's gift of storytelling. It was a nice book altogether but he went on (and on) about his 4 dogs a bit much for me. I guess I should have known that from the title of the book! "

" the new James Herriot. I laughed; I cried. "

" I've read all of Jon Katz's book about his crazy Bedlam Farm. If you like dogs, sheep, farm animals in general this is a choice book to fall into. "

" A sweet memoir of dogs and days on a working farm by Jon Katz. A must for dog lovers and anyone needing a good, quiet read. "

" I really likeds jon katz righting and this book gave a quite a few smiles "

" it's never too late in life to learn new tricks "

" I want to move to a farm. I do not think that would have been true before reading this book, but this story of a New York city man who moved to a farm convinced me that life on a farm in New England would be just grand. "

" Very sweet and an honest look at time on his farm, his relationships, and himself. I very much enjoyed his relationships with his animals and how he grew because of them. "

" I've been a fan of Katz's for years -- for his columns on Slate -- so I'm not sure why it took me so long to buy one of his books. I enjoyed this mellow visit to Bedlam Farm. "

" Cute narrative by the guy who writes about his dogs and various animals. Non-fiction, if you have harbored a hidden desire to run off and live on a farm this may be the book for you. "

" Not as much fun as "The Dogs of Bedlam Farm." Too often circular and repetitive. "

" A nice read. But have to admit that I didn't like this one as much as A Good Dog. "

" This was a simple read about a man who farms not because he has to, but because he wants to. I always thought I'd like to do that, but maybe reading about it is enough. "

" Love Jon Katz's writing. this was a nice book to read on a rainy, gloomy day and no animals die during the writing of this book!! (Although he does give a dog away sort of) "

" entertaining, kind of Garrison Keillor-esh without as much sentimentality and dogs and donkeys instead of people. "

" Lovely book about farm & Dogs. "

" Interesting, enjoyable. Made me want to check out some of his other books. "

" Entertaining collection of stories of life on a farm with a mix mix of animals and characters. There are sad moments but no crying :) "

" Good book overall. It was intersting but nothing too exciting. The author seems to repeat himself sometimes. It was a good lazy read. "

" I ran across this book while looking at gardening books, and took it home because of the picture on the cover. I liked this book for a relaxing easy read - really just stories from the farm...about the animals and the neighbors and of course the dogs. "

" A story about a life, actually the last in a series about a man who moves from NYC to a farm in Vermont. He shares his experiences about iving on a farm and how he copes with his assortment of animals. I enjoyed reading a book written by an animal lover and a kind person. "

" This book seems to be more of the same from Jon about the farm; not so much new in this one. "

" If you like animals, you'll like this account of the various residents of Katz's farm and their individual personalities. "

" A nice happy read about a man trying to do right by his dogs, and admitting he's not perfect. Humorous anectedotes about sheep, cows, dogs and people. I read this book when I want to feel better. "

" Not laugh-out-loud funny like Katz' A Dog Year, but still an amusing, insightful picture of life on Bedlam farm and what it's like to live with various dogs, roosters, cats, cows, sheep, etc. "
