    读到后来有点累了,不过前半部分还是十分enjoyable的!读之前要调一下自己的 “幽默接收器” 到英国人频道,不然还真接不住作者妙语连珠的吐槽。每一章都像是打开一颗新的糖果,一个接一个的故事讲述平凡又可爱的人和动物和生活,每读完一章都想安静地大笑!不过到后来的时候会觉得同质化的内容有些多,最后的15%我都有点啃不动了。如果接下来的几本都是同样的行文风格的话,真不知道还能不能继续读下去。 ps 作者真·典型英国人,整本书都散发着英国作家身上那种熟悉的 look how witty I am ! 的自恋气息~ 不过他还怪可爱的,所以读起来并不让人反感(^ー゜)07-09

    乡村兽医的大型连环吐槽现场。半夜穿着睡衣去猪圈,给马阉割被马踢,给助手收拾烂摊子,被浅薄的农民表扬或是骂惨,这都是家常便饭。职场中人都能在他身上找到那些苦中作乐的共鸣。作者的语言实在是太有风格了,上一个看到如此灵气的语言文字运用还是毛姆。BBC的audio版本,audio作者演绎的惟妙惟肖,精彩绝伦。但还是要吐槽,太长了。。。没耐心勿进。03-10

    看了电视后打算转站小说,文字果然比影视更细腻。68篇小短文填补了早餐时间/晚上睡觉前/坐火车的无聊时间。12-31
