Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann

I picked this up because it sounded so cool. The shepherd's been killed and the sheep have to find out who did it. It's such a great twist on the detective story - and there's a lot out there at the moment. And then there's the little flick book sheep in the bottom corner. It's so cute. I really, really wanted to love this book. I started it about a month ago and I struggled on through the first 150 pages. And I was a bit fed up with it. I really didn't care who had murdered the shepherd, how all these people fitted into the plot, what would happen to the sheep or anything. So I put it to one side and read a few books. And now I've come back to it, opened it up at the place I'd stopped, and... I honestly can not be bothered. I don't think I'm going to hang on to this one any more. Maybe I'll meet a copy in a few years and read it and really love it, but right now that's not happening.
