alobearI was really excited about reading Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann, as it's a murder mystery where the investigators are sheep and it sounded like such a fantastic premise. And it started out quite well - I was initially drawn in and found the writing style amusing and clever.
But, as the story progressed, I found it harder and harder to follow what was going on (the sheep's perspectives are very confused and oblique), less and less interesting, at the same time as being quite unpleasant.
About 75 pages in, I found I was doing other things rather than picking up my book to read more, so I decided to give up on it.
I don't think this is a bad book at all - I just don't think I was in the right frame of mind to engage with it fully.
