As you'd imagine from Matt Kracht, it's another book about how much he hates birds. I do agree that some of the worst birds are in there, including the mockingbird (which has sang directly outside my bedroom window until midnight on some nights) and the Canadian goose (if you know you know). The illustrations are good, the humor is there - it's a fun field-guide type read!

Thanks to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for the advanced reader copy for review!

A funny and wickedly profane “guide” to the birds of North America. Kind of loses steam after a while, I think it worked better reading it in chunks instead of reading it all in a day.

La idea de un libro sobre pajareo en clave humorística sonaba bien, pero una vez has visto 3 pájaros el resto son 3/4 partes de lo mismo, poner un shit o similares en el nombre, decir que son unos bichos muy pesados y pasar al siguiente. Lo único bueno es cuando te da consejos sobre como liarte a puñetazos con un grupo de gansos.

My reading focus has not been great as of late and this was just the sort of book that I needed right now. It's short, it's funny, and I actually learned a few things.

I loved the combo of swearing and birds. It is so entertaining and not pretentious in the usual way of bird books. I loved the bird journal tips at the end.
