5.0 out of 5 stars very useful book, 31 May 2008
By P. Adams (Cambridgeshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having remembered tortoises being very popular in the 70's as a child,I wanted another Tortoise and to be able to look after it properly. I have read a couple of books on the subject, which seem to contain an awful lot of contradictory advice. This book is definately one of the better ones and provides a good level of information for the tortoise owner. I would definately recommend it and would advise anyone interested to look on the web site for The Tortoise Trust(UK) as they provide excellent books/advice on the subject. Phil

2.0 out of 5 stars Pet Owner's Guide to the tortoise., 9 Jan 2009
By R. Wharton (West Yorkshire, GB.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This title gives you a very basic introduction on keeping tortoises and is great if you want to get an idea about what tortoise keeping entails. However if you are wanting a more detailed incite into the subject, as you have a tortoise or are about to have one, then this book won't be that helpful. I found that some of the information on care and feeding of tortoises were some what out of date. Overall a good title for those with just a passing interest in tortoises, but not really worth having if you actually have a tortoise.
