sputzie 's review for:
Three Bags Full
by Leonie Swann
I was very excited to read this book after getting it as a present. It had the makings of a very funny, quirky novel. Though it did not deliver the humor I was hoping for, it was still a decent book.
While reading the jacket, I was hoping this would be a book filled with humor reminiscent of Douglas Adams- strange yet smart and very British. While there was definitely humor throughout the book in the individual personalities of the sheep and how they see our human world, humor did not seem to be the main focus of the author. There were quite a few deep themes that were presented interestingly as we saw our world through the eyes of sheep.
The murder mystery itself was solved , but the results were more tragic than the "a-ha!" feeling uncovering the murderer is in some other stories.
Overall, it didn't fulfill its potential in my opinion but I did enjoy it.
