Hilarious. Don't miss it. - By: , 08 Jun 2001 
Gerald Durrell has an amazing talent for making you laugh out loud - he knows just how to tell his stories about the various birds, insects & animals he comes across as a boyin Corfu.
The descriptions of Corfu really make you want to visit, & the stories about himself & his own family are absolutely hilarious. This book is the best one to read if you haven't read any of his writing before.
Interesting and funny but quite boring - By: , 20 Apr 1999 
I thought that this book gave a good example of a typical choatic family, it shows this with many arguments between the siblings & how the mother tries to keep peace between everyone. This novel is an autobiagraphical, non-fiction story of an english family living on the island on Corfu. They come across many problems , delights & cultral differences. The book has a great sense of umour nada fantastic description of scenery, which was good but sometims incredibly boring. This was a funny, factual & interesting piece of literature.
