Well, that’s what I get for trying this just because the cover looked goofy.
I love chickens. My parents keep them as pets, and it’s always a joy to help care for them whenever I housesit. Naturally, I went into this book expecting chickens and ended up getting breadcrumbs. Chickens only show up in the first chapter, and thereafter are demoted to passing off-page mentions and one late-book pun that made me wince.
Man, I don’t know. This book just feels like nothing. Harrison and Finn have the most basic chemistry, the most basic arguments and concerns, it’s just like - very paint-by-numbers with actual farming getting shoved to the sidelines. There’s no substance, just fluff.
Meh.
