Holy Cow: A Novel | David Duchovny
post image
Mehso-so

A quick read that felt a bit like a fever dream. The story idea was fun and entertaining, but execution was a bit cringy. Layered with pop culture references and I didn‘t catch them all. But without reading a synopsis and just walking into it knowing it‘s a comedy, I had a few laughs.

3.5/5 ⭐️

#WanderingJune

(Day 7 - #Californication)

*I cannot hear that song without thinking of David Duchovny. He‘s actually a fairly decent writer. Consider the tagged book, which features a cow as narrator, a Torah-reading pig, a grounded turkey with an affinity for iPhones, plus a Box God who dispenses such revelations as the existence of “industrial meat farms.” Obviously, world problems are solved in the midst of all of their (mis-)adventures.

Reggie Have you ever seen a movie with him called Red Shoe Diaries. That movie was a little crazy. And then it went on to become a soft core series on Showtime where he hosted it. I‘m good, how are you! 5y
BarbaraBB I have never heard of him. Must check out! 5y
Cinfhen I didn‘t know he was a writer!!! He‘s the guy from XFiles @BarbaraBB you definitely have heard of him.... 5y

batsy @Reggie 😂 When I had a full on crush on Duchovny/Mulder and the internet was in its infancy, my friends and I tried to get bootleg tapes of this 😳🤣 5y
BarbaraBB @Cinfhen Oh it‘s him! I know him! 😀 5y
Cinfhen I thought you would xx @BarbaraBB 5y
Reggie @Batsy lol, because I was a big music nerd I remember they offered The Music of the Red Shoe Diaries cd and so I sent actually money and change in an envelope (including shipping and handling) to Canoga Park, CA and weeks later, I got the cd in the mail. I used to fall asleep to it despite the gritty sax. Lol https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=klc16YpnMvg&list=PLObKrfLy30nuhv7PSLcx68xakQU72e8E... 5y
batsy @Reggie 😆😆 (also, thanks for the link ... can't wait to time travel back to the Duchovny 90s) 5y
marleed @Reggie omg I watched the Red Shoe Diaries movie back in the ‘80s I believe. I think my husband rented them from some seedy video store. At the time, they were the most scandalous thing I‘d ever watched. I didn‘t even speak to watching them which is hilarious to me now! 5y
Reggie @marleed lol, how funny. Back in the day, scandalous and nowadays, probably tame. Thanks for sharing. 5y
gradcat @Reggie I definitely remember the movie, but I haven‘t seen it, so I guess I didn‘t remember that it‘s risqué. I don‘t remember the Showtime series, though...wow, it seems he‘s done a lot of different things. Anyway, I love soundtracks—oh, and they just keep getting better, e.g., Good Girls on NBC has great music—so I‘m going to check out your link. Glad you‘re doing well, and thanks for the info! ♥️ 5y

Totally bonkers and at times hilarious!
This book is not to be taken seriously its just a daft book and is written in that way. It has some silly sayings and alot of slang, so if you take your literature abit too seriously this will not be for you.
I thoroughly enjoyed it 😊 A light hearted and quick read which was very different to my usual type of book. I ❤ 🐄🐄

I might rate this 2+. I read it on a whim, having seen its cover in an article about celebrity-authored books. It's a basic, sort of preachy commentary on our treatment of animals told humorously (and not for work or children). It's a quick read. Take it or leave it.

I listened to this short novel over the past couple days, and it made me laugh - much needed this week. The animal rights message is there, wrapped in a tale that's unbelievable. Having it read by the author was a bonus. #TheTruthIsOutThere

This happened today. I met David Duchovny and had him sign his books. I could only afford 1 autograph but he signed both anyway. He said he'd sign all the books. He even complimented me saying he could tell I work in a bookstore because I flapped my books. ❤

Dragon What a smile! 😀 8y
tapgurl How exciting! What does flap your books mean? 8y

Qemorio @tapgurl flapping is when you put the inside flap of the dust jacket on the page where the author is supposed to sign. This makes it easier for the author when signing a lot of books. 8y

I'm a little late on this one but I had to get it in David Duchovny has been my #mancrush since the first episode on The X-files aired on television. Recently he started writing books and I love him even more. #octphotochallenge

BookishFeminist Oh damn, good morning 😯 8y
Magpiegem Mine too, my walls were covered in posters of him! But I had no idea he is writing! 8y
Qemorio @Magpiegem both of his books are so good the first is really funny. The second has a lot of baseball in it which I know nothing about but it's so well written it didn't matter. Also has funny bits. MUST put them in you TBR list. 8y

A cute little fable, but as an omnivore, I never appreciate being preached at, and The Message was a little heavy handed.

Holy Cow is a zany fable about farm animals that touches on animal and environmental issues. While I love the overall message, the writing was a little obnoxious to me. It pains me to say that, David Duchovny! Phrases like "cray cray" and other very in the moment pop culture references just don't do it for me.
