5.0 out of 5 stars Bless the Beasts and Jim Willis, 23 Jun 2002
By Susan Hillery (Cheswick, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Pieces of My Heart is one of those rare books that I will never part with. This is one that I will pull off the shelf often to read again and again. Every person that does any sort of animal rescue can relate to "How Could You?" I had the pleasure of sharing my home with a tabby cat for almost 20 years, and Jim's "Beloved of Bast" touched me deeply. On one page, I'm laughing reading "'If' For Dogs," and a few pages later, I'm crying at "I Loved You Best." Our small organization had the pleasure of using Mr. Willis' book as a fundraiser and we did exceptionally well. This is a book that sells itself. One only has to open a few pages, read a few poems, and you know you must have it for your own. Animal shelters and rescue organizations will do well spreading the word about Jim Willis...

5.0 out of 5 stars No Small Pieces Here, 17 May 2002
By A Customer
When I first reviewed Pieces of my Heart, I knew Jim Willis had a potential best-seller on his hands. They say that writing is just a matter of "opening a vein," and with "Pieces," Jim has opened up his whole heart. He has given us a glimpse into the lives of other creatures who share this Planet with us, who valiently struggle to survive despite the mess we humans have created.

Anyone who loves life, animals, or the Earth we live on owes it to himself or herself to read this book. Fair warning should be given, though. You won't make it through the first few pieces without a box of tissues, and just when you think your emotions have peaked, you'll surprise yourself with a roaring belly-laugh when you read the first of the Basset Hound Chronicles. It is no wonder that the reading of "How Could You?" - the most-published animal-related essay in the world - by radio DJs has literally stopped traffic.

It is impossible to read "Pieces of my Heart" without picking up a pen to write a letter to an editor, donating money to an animal rescue group, or hugging your own dog or kitty. If I could only buy one book to read the rest of my life, it would be this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, 14 Feb 2004
By L. Reynolds "LuciLastic" (West Midlands, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This book is one that I'm going to treasure forever.
I bought it after receiving an e-mailed story called "How Could You?". I found out that the author was Jim Willis, so decided to give this book a try.
It's a gem. It's every emotion rolled into one. Some stories are side-splittingly funny, some are heart-warming, and others are heart-breaking.
I've always been an animal lover, and the way that Willis has captured the personalities of his pets in "The Basset Chronicles" is hilarious.
If you have a pet, then this one is for you!
