Summary: One of the best books ever written
Review: I read it when I was a boy (just as old as Jerry) approximately 7 times and, if I would have the time, would reread it now. A really humurous & warm book.

Summary: With unthinkable Hobbies and a very hillarious vocabulary !
Review: I always wondered at a set of books my dad kept in his shelfs and once in a while he would read them and if you watch him constantly he would suddenly laughout loudly like a hysteric human. Later when I was in 7th standard he gave me one of those books from the good old shelf , it was 'The bafut beagles'. Then afterwords in a series I read all of Gerry's books and very often I caught myself laughing hystreically. Each one is a deadly piece of art., which keeps anybody half smiled always and bursts of laughter quite ofetn. Among all his books the best one is 'My family and other animals' and again 'The birds beasts and relatives' falls into the same categorry. Any aged persone can get immense pleasure out of his humer.

Summary: excellent entertainment
Review: A well-written, amusing account of Durrell's stay on Corfu as a boy. Hilarious, light reading. The only reason I did not rate it a "10" is that it is such light reading that it doesn't seem to give any fresh insight into anything, or have any purpose or point, and thus although highly entertained I was left feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

Summary: A "must-read" for natural history & clean humor enthusiasts
Review: Being a natural history enthusiast and also one to appreciate good, clean humor, this book recieved my undivided attention. Furthermore, it got me interested in Gerald Durrel's style of writing and prompted me to read similar books (Filets of Plaice, A Zoo in my Luggage, etc). The book humorously sketches the simple lives of the inhabitants of Corfu, the Durrel family (including their gradually acquired arsenal of pets), and the diverse Mediterranean fauna.

Summary: A lifetime favourite
Review: My primary school teacher read this book to the class when I was 11 years old. Since then I have read and reread it to the point where the anecdotes are indelibly stamped on my brain. No one in their right mind could NOT warm to Gerald and his "family".

Summary: Hysterically awkward British family-laugh out loud!
Review: My favorite novel- British Sense of Humor thriving in a family living out of their normal environment (Rainy and predictable U.K.)...classic family bungling and a chance to giggle on every page. The sibling relationships we have all experienced whether we have siblings or not... Makes you want to be 10 year old again

Summary: The funniest book I ever read
Review: I think this book is really the best book I ever
read. It is both interesting and funny. I have
read all of Gerald Durrell's book and this is my
favorite. Another lovely book by the same author
is "The Bafut Beagles".

Summary: Hilarious.. rich in humanity.. and cinematic in scope.
Review: Gerald Durrell recounts his childhood in Greece. His very
British, highly eccentric family - and his love of nature -
blend in unexpected ways. By turn hilarious and poignant,
the book draws sharp character sketches of the author's
relatives (including his equally famous brother, the
author Lawrence Durrell). Sharing the spotlight are the
fascinating flora and fauna young Gerald stumbles across
on his island. Even if you thought you couldn't stand Biology as a student in school, Durrell's descriptions are
so beautifully written, each discovery so exquisitely etched
that you cannot but wonder at the beauty of Nature - and
the amazing gift of prose that Durrell, a naturalist by
profession, brings to this unforgettable book. It makes you
thirst for more of the same, and happily for us, Durrell has
written several books.. worthy sequels to this tour de force.
