Three Bags full

Spoiler alert: don't read if you haven't finished the book.


I read it about a month ago sooo... I don't remember it well enough to do too indepth of a review. I enjoyed it. I liked the perspective of the sheep and their understanding of people. I thought the names were a nice twist - They lived in Glennkill and George Glenn was killed (not sure if those are the exact names but it was something similar). I wished for a little more background on the humans. Because we only heard things mostly through the sheep whole stories were missing. George and Ham fought over Kate- George won but stayed good friends with Ham and yet their seemed to be some tension there still... It didn't quite add up. Ham still pined over Kate. Kate was clueless about everything. George had a child with a married woman somewhere else? And Beth and George were really in love with each other but George couldn't take pining and stressing over the "Evil" in the village. Things didn't quite add up for me and the way he died took all of the mystery out of the novel for me. I would have liked it better if he had been murdered. (is that kind of sick and twisted? oh well...)

That being said it was a fun and interesting read. It went quickly and had some nice twists. I liked when Mopple was lost in the fog- that was an interesting part of the book. I liked the wolf in sheeps clothing (the sheep for food shepard). I liked the twin sheep that reappeared and the adopted sheep from the circus. Their were some cool analogies in the book. There was a good amount of suspense and the author had an interesting way of feeding us info.

Sorry I can't be more in depth. Maybe I will remember more as I read your reviews? Thanks for the fun read!

I also felt that the human relationships weren't developed. However, I guess we knew what the sheep knew, right? Thanks for posting!
