Beschreibung

The second rip-roaring tale featuring Bertie, the savvy blue bird with a taste for (mis)adventure!

Newly re-elected Independent MP James Timbrill is a hero to his constituents and now lives in marital harmony with his wife Celeste and their super-sentient hyacinth macaw Bertie in the not-so-wilds of the Gloucestershire countryside.

Some people, though, aren’t keen on James’s political impartiality, and mean to make sure that he starts singing to their tune. A cabal of criminal businessmen presents James with an offer he can’t refuse – not if he wants to keep all his bits intact! Resist and there will be consequences – for him and his loved ones.

But those ultimate dodgy dealers haven’t counted on the Sisterhood – a secret society dating back to the ancient world – nor the combined talents of an ageing ex-copper, a determined hairdresser, and our heroic macaw…

A fantastic farce for fans of traditional British satire.

    Do humans have the best eyesight? No. 
    Do humans have the best hearing? No. 
    Are humans the fastest runners? No. 
    Are humans the best swimmers? No. 
    Can humans fly? No. 
    This body of ours, is it a good design? 
    Or could it be better? 
    Not Very Intelligent Design takes an irreverent look at the human body, analyzes every part of it, and awards each part a mark out of ten. 
    Eyes that go blurry at middle age? Out of ten? Three? Throats that can easily cause death by choking? Seriously? 
    Not Very Intelligent Design is written in a tone that's light-hearted and sometimes mocking which can be upsetting to those who believe in creationism. On the other hand, if you're open-minded enough to have a good laugh at the world around you, including your own body, there's a pretty good chance you'll enjoy it. 
    Some Amazon reviews - 
    "An extremely observant and sometimes laugh out loud book that was thoroughly enjoyable! Keep writing sir and I will keep reading. Your wit, subtle, and silly, is absolutely delightful! I will never view my body parts the same way...thanks?" 
    "This book is extremely funny, but it does get the point across: We were either designed by natural selection or a complete idiot." 
    "Laughed out loud in many places and nodded in complete agreement throughout. Witty, engaging writing that makes a strong case for a Not Very Intelligent Design(er)." 
    "Every creationist should read this for some insight into how absurd the notion of intelligent design really is. It might also be worthwhile reading for Richard Dawkins whose excellent but meandering tomes could benefit from a dash more levity. Seriously, if humans were the result of intelligent design we would be very different creatures and Ingman makes it very clear why."

    Anne grew up in an abusive home, leading to severe depression and a determination to do better as a mother. One of her sons wants a dog from the time he is a baby; Anne very much does not. For years she appeases him with creatures who live in cages and tanks, but on his tenth birthday she can no longer say no—and she proceeds to fall in love with their new four-legged family member, Mattie. Then Mattie dies a sudden and tragic death, and Anne feels herself begin to sink back into depression. Trying to cope, she immediately adopts Milo—a dog who, unbeknownst to her, has already been returned to the rescue by several families due to his aggressive behavior. But even after she realizes Milo is dangerous, she’s committed to trying to give him a chance at a good life. Anne’s journey takes the reader from dog school into the deep woods as she perseveres with Milo’s lifelong rehabilitation and her unwavering efforts to be a good mother to her sons. Working with Milo strengthens Anne and expands her ability to love. Ten years later, when Milo dies, Anne faces another choice: close the door to that part of her heart, or risk loving another dog after two tragic losses?
