    <body><![CDATA[This was a struggle to get through.  I can imagine how it would be enthralling 80 years ago, but it was just too terribly hard to get into.  It wasn't like a story.  It was more like a disconnected set of events.   And I really didn't like the treatment of minorities in this book.  I understand that...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70792378">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Although Dr Doolittle is described in all the summaries as a vetrinarian, in the book he is actually a naturalist. Animals come to him for help (of all sorts, not only medical) because he can speak many animal languages. This is not some sort of magical gift but knowledge he acquired through study. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54018918">more...</a>]]></body>

I think there are some &quot;updated&quot; versions of the Dolittle books that have removed the racist content - maybe that's a good way to go.  I was bored by the book.  ]]></body>
