Three Bags Full by Leonie SwannMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
It’s a pretty dark story overall, with a bit of surprising blood, but it also feels cozy since it’s a mystery from the point of view of a very concerned flock of Irish sheep. They’re smarter than your average livestock, thanks to George the shepherd actually reading to them (and flying in the face of all the anti intellectuals these days who discount the power of reading.) I first saw the sequel to this book at the library in my new hometown, and thankfully they had this first book in stock as well so I could try it out. Imagine my surprise when I find out that there’s a film adaptation planned for next year, with Oregon-based director Kyle Balda (from Illumination Studios) helming the project, and Craig Mazin of all people writing the script. This could be an interesting one to see in theaters for sure…
