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 and animals he comes across as a boy in Corfu. The descriptions of Corfu really make you want to visit, and the stories about himself and 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

I thought that this book gave a good example of a typical choatic family, it shows this with many arguments between the siblings and 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 and 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 and interesting piece of literature.
