FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY!

This book is so funny, it should be a best seller. Even if you don't plan to move to a farm, read this book. You'll get a lot of laughs. If you plan on moving to the country, definitely read this book!

Blood-Lust Chickens and Renegade Sheep

This book is written to be funny and easy to read, but yet it presents some very worthwhile insight into what one might encounter when giving up the comforts of city life. Although parts seem to be a bit dated, for example, I can't imagine someone moving to the country and doing without electricity for 3 years. Nor do I believe anyone would rely on strictly wood as a heat source in today's environment. Some of the episodes in this book would make good material for a Disney movie. I'd highly recommend it for anyone who is considering giving up the good life for a trip back to the basics of country living.

Excellent book!

This is a down to earthy tale that actually tells you what not to do. This is often more important than all those other books that tell you what to do. I highly recommend this book. It written in an easy to read format that doesn't insult the reader. Kudos for this book and the author.

reality check

this is a beautifully written, funny, easy to read must do before entertaining any thoughts of moving to the country.

Funny yet true...

A funny, yet real side to moving to the country with lots of tips on hazards. Such as: Don't tie a rope around yourself and also a Calf thinking that you can pull it away. As it says on the back of the book "This is a book about real country experiences, failures and successes." While it also contains chapters such as: To Move or not to move, Protecting yourself, Surviving your move back to the land, even points about that horror, "The Septic System". This has got to be a favorite, from the authors of this book.Blood-Lust Chickens and Renegade Sheep; A First-Timer's Guide to Country Living by Nick Evangelista & Anita Evangelista has got to be the best book for the up coming Century. A.k.a., Year 2000 Computer Glitch, or even if you just want to move back to the land.
