Pizzles in Paradise is well-known Southland vet John Hick's collection of anecdotes from more than 30 years of tending to bird, beast and brooding pet-owners.
Mildly entertaining although this author should visit his doctor; he has a chronic case of verbal diarrhoea. This is descriptive writing to the max, and sadly, to the detriment of the story being told. A Masters in verbal gymnastics would be an advantage to the reader.
