Audio book. I found this delightful. I guess it's sort of a "gentle"/"cozy" read, which would normally make me sigh dramatically throughout, and the idea of sheep as main characters made me wince a bit; but it was actually really cute and sweet, with plenty of background, mystery and interesting characters. Probably would've been a quick read as a book.

She shook her head. "This isn't something sheep can understand," she said.
"No," said Fosco. "No, it really isn't anything sheep can understand.“

It took me longer to get into this book than it should have. I was overly concerned with trying to solve the mystery when I really needed to just go with the flow. Now that I know the end, I wouldn’t mind rereading this one day.
Despite all that, I managed to settle into the story eventually, and I really enjoyed it.

Somehow she pulled this off. This mystery is told from the perspective of a flock of sheep. They are bright, and each has a distinctive personality, but they are still very very sheeplike. Some of the sheep are delightful (I admit to being drawn to Melmouth, but I always liked the mysterious rebels). Some are hilarious and lovable (Mopple the Whale). I was glad to learn how Miss Maple earned her name. Anyway, it works. Strangely enough. They never lose their essential sheepiness. And yet. It is a mystery. With a dead body. And all.
Este libro es maravilloso. Lo intenté leer dos veces hace años pero nunca conseguía avanzar simplemente porque no entendía que estaba pasando. Ahora le he dado una oportunidad y me ha encantado. Las ovejas se comportan ovejunamente y es mágico. El final ha sido igual un poco decepcionante pero no deja ningún cabo suelto y simplemente me ha decepcionado porque me esperaba un final súper dramático. Lo recomiendo %100, es muy entretenido y las ovejas son personajes encantadores.
