FRIENDS FOR LIFE

Addressing a rarely discussed but emotional topic, loving and losing one's animal companions, this book gives the subject compassionate and empathetic treatment. Read by the authors in a live, interactive interview format, the performance sheds light on the process of grief for pet-lovers. Occasional background noises and emotional outbursts make it apparent that this is a live recording but don't noticeably detract from the knowledgeable reading given by the authors. Butler and Lagoni speak sensitively throughout as Hetts, with a tasteful British accent, asks them insightful questions. A.G.H. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPT 97]
