Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Story

I picked this book for a reading challenge after I saw it on one of those book lists. I went in with really high expectations and was pumped to start reading it. Unfortunately, this book just didn't hit the spot for me. The prose was odd, though that may be because it's translated? Also, the book constantly felt like it was supposed to be a funny book but the comedy felt very hit or miss. And the author kept trying to add a mysterious subplot with a different kind of font that read like a sheep becoming a pagan. I would say the book had a decent beginning and end but the middle was a bit of a slog. This book could have been shorter and still done everything it was trying to.
