"This continues Chris Stewart's stories of life in Andalucia, introducing his nemesis, the eponymous parrot. As in Driving Over Lemons, his touch is light and humorous, although things take a more serious turn in this book when he is faced with the possible demise of his farm."

    " After reading his first book, Driving Over Lemmons, I was hooked by the quirky tales of homesteading in Andalucia and wanted to catch up with how things were going in Mr. Stewart's world. The book did not disappoint, and kept me laughing with its impeccable storytelling. "

    " I wanted to borrow this from my local Vienna VA library, weeks ago, but of course they dont have a copy, it had to requested as an interlibrary loan, 'cause the Library spent its budget on computers instead of books. Vienna library wont buy books, they 'll only buy computers, so that people can search for jobs [not] or do "research", ie Wikipedia or wander the Web. So I went and bought a $5 used copy on amazon. I hope the geek squeaky Vienna Libararians are all high five-ing it. "

    " I didn't realise the story didn't stop at "Driving Over Lemons", so I was thrilled to pick up the sequel. Not quite as cohesive as the previous account, but Chris delivers another selection of great anecdotes with his characteristic wit. A great holiday read. "
