Book Review of Enslaved by Ducks

Enslaved by Ducks
reviewed on


I found this book to be enjoyable if a little disjointed and over-long. Bob really loved the animals he and his wife acquired; they were not the kind of people who get an animal because it's cute or unusual and then leave it to go stir-crazy in a cage. The amount of care (and money--vets aren't cheap) he lavished on the beasties would exhaust a normal person. Some of it was laugh-out-loud funny and some was sad. Animals die. Sometimes other animals eat them.

You can see some of the family in action at Bob's website, www.bobtarte.com.

Overall, the book really made me appreciate the amount of daily affection I get from my cats in exchange for two scoops of chow and a box of sand.
