Review: An animal Life: A chance to cut by Howard Krum
An animal Life: A chance to cut is not technically a cat book. even though there are some cat stories in the book, this is primarily a book about what it’s like to be a veterinary student, and vet students learn to take care of all creatures terrific and small. However, given the important role veterinarians play in every cat guardian’s life, I thought that you would enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at what vets go through during their schooling and training.
In this sequel to An animal Life: The Beginning, the reader gets to follow a group of veterinary students through their second semester. From clinic rotations for cats, dogs and horses to working with stranded whales and sea turtles on a cold winter night, the authors take us from hilarious to heartbreak as we learn what life at veterinary school is really like.
The characters are well-developed and immensely likeable. I’ve been told by some of my vet pals that this book is an accurate portrayal of life as a vet student, which makes me appreciate the veterinarians in my life even more. Vet school appears to not be for the faint of heart.
This in-depth look at the life of veterinary students has it all: laughter, tears, passion, excitement, and romance. If you enjoy ER, Grey’s Anatomy and private Practice, you’ll love this book – it’s kind of like the veterinary version of all of these shows in book form, with a little animal house thrown in for good measure.

Hi Ellen, If you enjoy “A chance to Cut,” I’d be happy to send you a complimentary audiobook version of book 1 (it’s due out in about a month). Thanks, Howard
