The Blue Hen

Yesterday i read a book called 'The Blue Hen'. The book was written by Des Dillon. It is a book that is part of the quick read collection.

I really enjoyed this book. It had text that was easy to read and the language i felt was just right for the story. It was rather funny at times. It had a story that kept you wondering what was going to happen next. The ending to the story i felt was a bit predictable, nevertheless i really enjoyed the story. It is a book that i would recommend and it is certainly one that i would read again.

The story was about two men who worked for a steelworks but lost there job when it was forced to close. The men decided toi get chickens on the hope that they could sell the eggs that they laid. They had nothing but problems with them as they all died. They then set up there own window cleanuing business but that didn't work out either as the local drug dealer stole not just one but two sets of ladders. There next and final attempt at making something of themselves i am keeping secret as this is a must read book and i am not spoiling it for you.

I would give this book a star rating of 4 as it is a fantastic book and i would recommend it to anyone. i think everyone will enjoy this one.
