For all the dog and animal lovers, plus for everyone who still has a human heart in these times.

This Review cannot start without telling the story of how I got this book and came to know about the beautiful, funny, happy, sad, heartwarming, heartbreaking, triumphant, uplifting, soothing, and much more but worth every second you spend reading these books and the writer who is behind all this great writing. If you love dogs and think you understand them, you'll find yourself seeing them in a whole new light after this book and any other book by Mr. James Herriot because he was not just a vet, he was a man with a big heart, I am sad I am already done with all his books and can't read new books by him because he is not with us anymore. His writing style was "Just tell the story."

He was not forcing the reader to be emotionally involved because his true stories were making a reader get involved automatically and that is an amazing trait in a writer. The joy and laughter and pain, the tears and smiles will make you want more of his books and I recommend you buy and read all of them and share with loved ones, especially dog lovers. In simple words, to feel happy, to laugh, to cry, to feel all the joy and absurdity of life, read Mr. James Herriot.

Dogs are a big part of many people's lives greatly. Truly their love is always pure and simple in health and in sickness; it is permanent, and longer-lasting than many human friendships. They are the motivation to get out of bed and keep going when sometimes you don't even want to move.

Okay, time for my story of how I got my first book of Mr. James Herriot...
It was crowded in the metro and I was sitting on a double seater with a male stranger. At the next station, a girl came in; I always give my seat to any female regardless of age. This includes old men, kids, students in uniforms, and young guys with books or school bags, so I pointed at her to come and take my seat. She said no but I insisted and she took my seat after saying thanks.

By chance on the next stop, the stranger left and this girl asked me to sit with her and I did. The moment I sat beside her, she said thank you again and asked why I gave her my seat? I told her that I always give my seat to females, kids, and old men. She laughed and said: "So, you are one of the last of the dying breed of true gentlemen?"

I smiled and said thanks because I know it is true, I get laughed at by people sometimes for doing these things and sometimes it is thought of as flirting and many other things that are not my intention. After that, we talked a bit, and after realizing that I was not flirting, she started reading her book. I saw a dog and an old man on the cover and asked her what is the title of this book. (I got interested because I read a lot of books and actually got a huge library of my own at home) She told me the name "Dog Stories" and asked do you read books? I said yes, I read a lot of books from almost all the genres except for porn. She smiled and said: "you can have this book because I am almost done."

I was shocked and happy at the same time to know a person like her still exists, but still, I said no. In the end, she basically forced me to take the book from her. We exchanged cell numbers on her request and talked a bit; once she finished the final few pages she gave the book to me.

My station was already three stops behind us by now but I had to sit with her because she wanted to finish the book and give it to me before we part ways. Her station was still far and she had plenty of time to finish the book.

Once she was done reading, she handed the book to me with a satisfied smile. Her station came after ten minutes and we both came out of the station. She asked me if I can walk her to her building, I said yes and started walking with her, she lived just two minutes walk away from the metro station. I knew I'll be having tea or coffee at her home, even if I want it or not and that is what happened. She invited me to her apartment for tea and I said yes because I smelled the beautiful smell of old books from inside her apartment. The moment she opened the door, I felt I am in book heaven. While she was preparing the tea, I was busy checking the books. One thing that I noticed was the books from Mr. James Herriot's book series (Not actually series but many books written by him.)
She came back with tea and saw me looking at her books; she smiled and asked if I found something that interests me?
I said, "Yes, this room."
We both laughed and she said yes you can have anything from this room. I almost had all the books she had but some books like the books from Mr. James Herriot, I didn't even know about. So I asked her about these books, and then she told me about the writer and the stories which I already mentioned above.

One thing that I understood from meeting this girl and reading the books of Mr. James Herriot was that everyone who loves animals turns out to be a good person with a big heart. Anyway, we talked for a long time without noticing it was already so late in the evening, so I asked her permission to leave but she insisted that I stay the night because it was like we were so alike and maybe she was missing good company that can talk and discuss same stuff that she loved. I really wanted to stay and talk nonstop; the same as she wanted but I had to leave because I was on strict training for an upcoming forty two Kilo-meter marathon, so I had to decline, but I promised to come again whenever she wants me to come. On that, she agreed to let me leave and invited me to come on the upcoming weekend with extra clothes for staying the whole weekend for book marathon, discussion, and my training if I had training day during the weekend. I left with a big smile, a warm hug, and many books that were all written by Mr. James Herriot.

We are best book buddies until now, starting from that day and I thank Mr. James Herriot for that. I feel everyone who reads his books, gets something from him and becomes a better version of oneself.


A little bit about the author...
James Herriot, a pseudonym for James Alfred Wight, he grew up in Glasgow and qualified as a veterinary surgeon at Glasgow Veterinary College. Shortly afterward he took up a position as an assistant in a North Yorkshire practice where he remained, except for his wartime service in the RAF, until his death in 1995. He wrote many books about Yorkshire country life, including some for children, but he is best known for his memoirs, which begin with If Only They Could Talk. The books were televised in the enormously popular series All Creatures Great and Small.

A bit from Media...

Rich Dad Poor Dad

https://amzn.to/3wIlV3m

Published: Originally 1997 - Revised 2017

Author: Robert T. Kiyosaki 

Genres: Personal Finance, Money, Investing, Parenting, Entrepreneurship, Education, Advice


Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
 
The first financial book you should read if you want to understand the mindset of an actual rich person and the poor person who never succeeds in life, even though he tries and works hard till he can't anymore.
 
It's been almost 25 years since Mr. Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad was first published and it changed the Personal Finance thinking of many. It is in my mind and still in book charts the #1 Personal Finance book of all time.
 
The book is really easy to understand and even a person without technical knowledge of how money works can understand it. Almost all the financial mistakes and blunders I see many people around me and the world make are mentioned in this book. It tells how ninety-five percent of the population thinks and because of that stays poor. Everyone wants to become rich but never changes the way of thinking and acting upon it. The financial habits of a poor man are the reason for the majority of us to never become rich. This book makes you realize how you can start to change your "poor man's" habits and start to act financially like a rich man with your hard-earned money. 
 
You get to learn about many things but these are the highlights that may help you decide in buying this book...
 
Your thinking about the way you spent money before reading this book will surely change permanently. 

It can help you teach and build your kids to be financially free also from the start.

Change the concept of saving and investing because that is one of the main differences between rich and poor financial thinking.

Helps you change your mindset to be more financially independent 
It helps you understand how to make your money make more money for you. In simple words, make money with money.
Improve your financial intelligence

The freedom of thinking and freedom from money. What actually means is that instead of being a slave to money, you'll make money your slave.
 
I wish I was able to give more points. Hundred is the max that I can give, but you can add many more zeros to your investments and the way of thinking after you read this book. So here are the ratings...
 
Rating: 100/100
Recommended: 100/100 YES.

The Last Templar

Published: 2005

Author: Raymond Khoury

Genres: Women's Adventure Fiction, Heist Thrillers, Adventure, Romance, Christian Historical Fiction


While I was writing this review, the first thing that came to my mind was the places where I read this book and what it is about because it took me a week to finish it and all of it was done on airplanes and in airports; and the book is full of adventure, twists and turns, and plots expanding thousand plus years. It is long with more than five hundred plus pages but it is so fast-paced that you won't even notice it when you are near the end and you feel why it is so short because you'll want more of this book and its writing style by Mr. Raymond Khoury.

This is the debut work by the author but feels like he is doing it for a long time and is a pro. He created the feeling that I am about to find a huge secret hidden for a long time and that made me turn page after page to know more about it.

“Like The Da Vinci Code, Khoury’s novel features age-old mysteries that play out in a modern setting.”—The New York Times

But don't think of this book as a copy or inspired work because it is original and beautiful. One of the reasons this book makes you turn page after page is the sudden twists but better you read the book to find out about it because I don't like to spoil the books by revealing anything.

From The Back Cover
"In 1291, a young Templar knight flees the fallen holy land in a hail of fire and flashing sword, setting out to sea with a mysterious chest entrusted to him by the Order's dying grandmaster. The ship vanishes without a trace. In present-day Manhattan, four masked horsemen dressed as Templar Knights stage a bloody raid on the Metropolitan Museum of Art during an exhibit of Vatican treasures. Emerging with a strange geared device, they disappear into the night. The investigation that follows draws archaeologist Tess Chaykin and FBI agent Sean Reilly into the dark, hidden history of the crusading knights—and into a deadly game of cat and mouse with ruthless killers—as they race across three continents to recover the lost secret of the Templars."


The rating is not 100% just because some people may not want to read stuff related to religion but believe me it is not just about religion; it is just used to tell a great adventure story with messages and makes you think about your beliefs and morals and then offers you to choose whatever you want to think and believe.


Rating: 95/100
Recommended: 95/100 YES.
