Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I really wanted to LOVE this book. The title, the cover page and the subject matter are all right up my alley. But, the author's interesting story just didn’t capture the humor that I know it was supposed to have. I felt like it was just a story about another city guy who meets up with a country girl, and from there keeps a journal of their transitioning mishaps from city life to farm life. Unfortunately, about halfway through the book, I started counting the pages…a sign that I’m bored. I did like the fact that he included pictures of the characters in his story and a short "where are they now" update at the back of the book. ( ) no reviews | add a review
The hu-amorous true story of an animal-phobic, city robotics engineer who learns too late that his new bride's dream is to have a farm where she can rescue ex-racehorses. When the newlyweds take a Meyers-Briggs Personality Test for fun, it tells them that their marriage is doomed. There is only one problem: they took the test after the wedding. So whether he's chasing a cow named Pork Chop through the woods, getting locked in a tack room by the family pony, being snubbed by his wife's favorite dog, or unsuccessfully trying to modernize their barn using the latest technology, the odds are already stacked against him. It seems like everything on four legs is out to get him. Will the animals prove Meyers-Briggs right? No library descriptions found. |
