I enjoyed this story immensely. Each time that I would pick this book back up, I would become completely engaged in the reading. The story had a nice, easy going pace while filled with a sense of mystery and intrigue of the wild sheep chase. At times, the story was a bit strange, yet the strangeness felt natural. Even now, during this writing, I find myself wondering about the strangeness, and the meaning. In my way, while I don’t completely understand it all, the strangeness of the story did make sense.

The cast of characters were all very interesting, each with a quirk which helped to add some depth to the narrator’s tale. As for our narrator, he was interesting as well, but not in a flashy way as he had little ambition in life. Still, he intrigued me with his thoughts, and actions. I liked the flow of his tale, and the lull of his tone.

A Wild Sheep Chase captivated and entertained me throughout the whole story.

Really good book. Fun, weird - of course -, clever and silly all at once. 4 Stars.

All I've gotta say is that I still don't know what the hell even happened in this book.
