Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann

4.0

---

This book is nuts, and unlike anything I've read in a long time, which is the main reason I gave it four stars. It is, very successfully and seriously, written from the perspective of a flock of sheep, which means the narration shifts around, gets confusing, and sometimes loses the thread. The POV is fascinating. Many of the sheep are quite philosophical—some on purpose, some accidentally. Because you only understand what the sheep understand, you can't reason together a little puzzle like you might with a traditional murder mystery, although the sheep do try. Very weird, but worth the time.
