A story told from a milk cow's perspective is fun and reminiscent of the early "Got Milk" commercials. It's lighthearted yet driven by an ethnic/racial theme which given the current administrations position in this area, is timely. Overall, its well done but not the sort that you'll tell your friends about. Enough said. ( ) Elsie the curious cow wanders to the window of the farmhouse where her human owners are watching a graphic TV show about the slaughter of animals at industrial meat farms. Shaken by this revelation of her own imminent fate, Elsie is determined to escape, but to where? She later learns of a country called India, where cows are worshipped, and devises a plan to get there. Of course, word spreads quickly on a farm. Enter Jerry the Torah-quoting pig with a desire to live in Israel and Tom the turkey who wants flee to--you guessed it--Turkey. Together, the three embark on a globe-trotting escapade of enlightenment, understanding, and mutual respect. Duchovny’s anthropomorphic adventure is a fast, funny, and uplifting read. Be prepared to suspend your disbelief while opening your mind and heart. Holy Cow by David Duckovy reminded me Of Swine not By Jimmy Buffett In that I hated it. I love Buffet and Duchovny. Holy Cow, however, is hard to comprehend as to what it actually is. Is it a children’s book? An adult humor book? A fable or a joke? It is a about a regular milk cow that sees the Box God (a tv) and decides she has to go to India where they do not eat cows. It reads like a middle school novel. However, it has adult humor and concepts. Duchovny makes an attempt to explain how a cow could book a flight on an airplane, but leaves as many questions as he answers. At the end, he addresses inconsistencies by saying it is just a story, However, he clearly has never been on a farm. His message is clear and directly on the page. The cow addresses the reader directly and spouts off what is on the authors mind. I agree with it, but I wanted a story. I did read this book, so it kept me turning the page. It however, did not have a satisfying end. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: A rollicking, globe-trotting adventure with a twist: a four-legged heroine you won't soon forgetElsie Bovary is a cow, and a pretty happy one at thatâ??her long, lazy days are spent eating, napping, and chatting with her best friend, Mallory. One night, Elsie and Mallory sneak out of their pasture; but while Mallory is interested in flirting with the neighboring bulls, Elsie finds herself drawn to the farmhouse. Through the window, she sees the farmer's family gathered around a bright Box Godâ??and what the Box God reveals about something called an "industrial meat farm" shakes Elsie's understanding of her world to its core. There's only one solution: escape to a better, safer world. And so a motley crew is formed: Elsie; Jerryâ??excuse me, Shalomâ??a cranky, Torah-reading pig who's recently converted to Judaism; and Tom, a suave (in his own mind, at least) turkey who can't fly, but who can work an iPhone with his beak. Toting stolen passports and slapdash human disguises, they head for the airport. Elsie is our wise-cracking, pop-culture-reference-dropping, slyly witty narrator; Tomâ??who does eventually learn to fly (sort of)â??dispenses psychiatric advice in a fake German accent; and Shalom, rejected by his adopted people in Jerusalem, ends up unexpectedly uniting Israelis and Palestinians. David Duchovny's charismatic creatures point the way toward a mutual understanding and acceptance that the world despe Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
