Love Among the Chickens P G Wodehouse 9781544891644 Books
P.G. Wodehouse's "Love Among the Chickens" surprised me (unfortunately, not in a good way). The Wodehouse works I've read have all been extremely witty with highly convoluted plots that twist and turn and meet up with themselves in wonderful ways. Reading "Love Among the Chickens" is like watching a bull in a china shop or like being hit in the face with a blunderbuss. The whole story is a straight-forward study in painful things happening to people who should know better than to behave the way they do. There's no subtlety and no wittiness. The "humor" is almost slapstick. Technically, though, I can't fault the writing. Wodehouse's descriptions are wonderful and the characters are done tolerably (even Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge (not the protagonist, but the guy driving that train into wreckage)). If Wodehouse had used a pseudonym (something like Moe Howard perhaps) so that there weren't certain expectations, then some people might consider the book to be OK. But, in comparison to the Wodehouse I know, I have to rate it at a Not Very Good 2 stars out of 5. Definitely not his best work.Product details

Love Among the Chickens P G Wodehouse 9781544891644 Books Reviews
This was a light, entertaining and refreshing read. The enjoyed the characters and how they interacted with one another. The end.
Ok, when my friend told me there was this free book I HAD to have, I admit I was a skeptic. love among the chickens?-very weird! But this book is tons of fun, with robust characters, ridiculous conversations, and enough absurdity that I found myself giggling aloud at times. No, it's not the great literature of our times, yes it is a blast to read. Seriously, what do you have to lose? ONLY for people who have a sense of humor, the rest of you can skip it.
Love Among the Chickens is early PGW, but has a bunch of his talent plainly in view. A goofy love story, a dignified old guy capable of generating guffaws, and an elaborate premise that somehow comes around full circle.
This was a laugh out loud book. One of my favorite Wodehouse books. It was so amusing and entertaining I read it rather quickly. If you know someone in your life who needs a good cheery book this one is bound to put a smile on their face. Highly recommend!!
As usual, Wodehouse lays it on thick. Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukbridge is a case of typical Ignorant arrogance lack of knowledge on a subject is no reason to do research; one of his caliber automatically knows everything and should be heeded. Likewise, merchants and creditors who loan money to him only show what kind of lowlife cretins they are when they expect repayment.
Likewise, Jeremy Garnet, novelist who is a guest of Ukbridge's house, needs a lot of time to mull, and ends up thinking only of true love when all is falling down around his host. He accepts very little responsibility and is glad to acknowledge that, in addition to gaining his true love, marriage will mean his uncle will support him.
Some books, like wine, not only withstand the tests of time but are improved by it. I had read this book probably 20 years ago, but found it again when searching for a book on building chicken coops. I re-read it, and enjoyed it even more this time...
I DO wish that the volunteers that make these books available to the public would take a few extra minutes and write a description instead of the generic "this work was made available by..."
If you love old movies that are filled with human emotion instead of car crashes and sex scenes and you like remembering (or dreaming of) the day when men were gentlemen and women were ladies, then you'll enjoy this as much as I did.
Classic Wodehouse, based on a true-life tale. The hero's friend may drive you mad, but the comedy is hilarious, and the love story, though very underplayed, has a nice ending (the golf game that seals the deal is devilish fun). NOTE This is a revision of an earlier novel, Love Among The Chickens -- The Haps and Mishaps of Life on a Chicken Farm. Do NOT get the earlier version; it is not nearly as good.
