It is quite good - not riotously funny but amusing. Would go well with a chilled glass of white and a sunny afternoon.

I found it very enjoyable and definitely worth a LARGE glass of wine.

Thought it was fairly amusing, but a quick read and not one that you'd necessarily keep going back to, even with more glasses of wine!

do what I did and borrw it from the library.. saves more money for wine that way.. I'm with parrot and yoanbob, it's entertaining and will teach you a few things, (well me anyway, but I'm very new) but it's more a story of the joys and tribulations of hen ownership than a reference manual so you'd probably only read it once then stick it on the shelf for ever more..
