Very fairly warned. It bugged me more than I thought it would. The mystery should make this a plot-driven novel, but for me, it wasn't.
It was character-driven. The sheep have distinct personalities, and I think once again, the author deserves credit for this. The mystery almost seemed secondary to the story, which was philosophical in nature.
That's fine if that's what you're looking for, but when I pickup a mystery, I have certain expectations. This was not your typical mystery.
I'm glad I read the book, and I'd recommend it to people who aren't after a typical mystery and would enjoy the clever humor.

Or a black ram named Othello? I could not resist; I could not put it down. I love this book - the solving of the murder of their shepherd, George, is only part of the appeal.
The fact that they think humans must only have small souls because of their inferior sense of smell is only the tip of the iceberg as to why these characters are so endearing.
At one point, Who would not be passionate about a book that has a lead sheep detective named Miss Maple?
At one point, Maude the sheep with the superior sense of smell , says, "I like mouse weed I'm going to think of mouse weed whenever I like.
In fact, I'm going to think about mouse weed all night. Just so you know. I love it. I can't stand it - I laughed out loud, I teared up, I adored the sheep and their quest to find the murderer and, in the process, find their own place in the world.
This may remind some of Watership Down meets Agatha Christie - but it is so much more. It is one of the most beautifully written and creative novels I have read in a long time.
Hurrah for the sheep of Glenkill! An interesting concept that had me wanting to read it the moment I was told about it. Set in rural Ireland this books is about a flock of smarter-than-your-average sheep who set out to discover the truth behind the murder of their beloved shepherd.
Led by the smartest sheep, Miss Maple, the rest of the flock, including Othello the black sheep - literally and figuratively , Mopple the sheep who never forgets , Sir Ritchfield the aged lead ram and a host of others, search for clues and motives An interesting concept that had me wanting to read it the moment I was told about it.
Led by the smartest sheep, Miss Maple, the rest of the flock, including Othello the black sheep - literally and figuratively , Mopple the sheep who never forgets , Sir Ritchfield the aged lead ram and a host of others, search for clues and motives in a village which isn't as nice and clean as it portrays itself.
I loved the sheep. They made for the best characters. Mopple and Zora were the best for me. I'd have liked to have seen more of Miss Maple. As much as they spoke and acted you never forgot they were sheep.
Easily distracted by a nice bit of grass and scared of almost everything. But the great writing of the sheep in turn led to what was the weakest part of the book.
The humans. By the end of the book I didn't really care about why George died or who did it. I started it for the sheep and they were the reason I finished it.
I also would have liked a little less Othello. There was a little too much focus on him which detracted from the rest of the flock.
A fun read, I did enjoy it. I wonder though if the sheep took too much attention away from the plot. I think this could make for a good movie as well.

I don't know how I could overlook this book for that long. It combines many things that I love - sheep, a compelling mystery, the concept of seeing yourself in comparison to others - and did I mention sheep?
Yes, you can make me very happy if you present me a new kind of story. Another favorite of mine - unfortunately, the setting is not that important to the story.
One day, a flock of sheep wakes up to find their shepherd murdered. After their init I don't know how I could overlook this book for that long.
After their initial panic settles down, the smartest sheep of them, Miss Maple, tries to solve the crime. To find out what happened, the sheep have to resort to stalking villagers and concurring their own fear when it comes to leaving the herd.
I love the concept of the novel. Sheep are among my favorite animals and the book actually managed to teach me something new about them. I also love the fact that they observed a lot while they didn't know what those actions were about.
It was fun to read about their efforts to come up with an explanation for everything while they compared their life to those of the humans around them.
The characterization was great. I hardly needed the directory as it was easy to distinguish the different animals.
I also like the setting - their pasture on the edge of the ocean representing their safe haven that they needed to leave in order to still their curiosity.
This is a charming, little story with an ending I didn't expect. I am glad that I finally read it and hope to check the second book out soon.
My first impression of this book was; it reminded me of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time in the sense of an unlikely detective solving a crime.
It was probably with this thought that made me not enjoy this book as much as expected. While there is some very interesting concepts in this book; it has a very philosophical theme throughout of this book, I thought the author padded the book a little too much.
While the sheep made for very interesting and enjoy about characters, I felt My first impression of this book was; it reminded me of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time in the sense of an unlikely detective solving a crime.
While the sheep made for very interesting and enjoy about characters, I felt that they were the only part of the book that I actually enjoyed.
In the end I just felt the book was too cutesy for my likely. A murder solved or attempted to be solved by sheep. Swann does have her sheep think like sheep, or at least they seem to.
They still sheep during the course of the whole book, that is they still in character. And that might be the problem I have with the ending.
The ending seems almost too pat, though the sheep's reaction to it was well done. The book does start very slow, however, that might be due to the translation more than anything.
It's been quite a few years since I visited rural England. But at the time, sheep were everywhere. And everywhere they went they grazed.
Soccer fields. Beside houses and restaurants. Sometimes they would look up and look at you mainly if you came too close to them but usually they just stood or layed around eating grass.
And people just ignored them. So, when the shepherd of a small, diverse and odd flock of sheep shows up dead they are able to wander around and investigate his death, wo It's been quite a few years since I visited rural England.
So, when the shepherd of a small, diverse and odd flock of sheep shows up dead they are able to wander around and investigate his death, worried that people would be suspicious, which of course was not the case.
Now, one needs to understand that these are not just your run of the mill i. Their shepherd had read to them, so these are somewhat educated sheep.
Although, this education is limited largely to stories of one subversive woman. Therefore, their interpretations of what they hear is quite entertaining.
Initally I found this laugh out loud funny. It remained mildly amusing throughout and the ending surprised me.
But then I rarely figure mystery denouments out. This is a quirky tale. There were, perhaps, a few too many red herrings for my taste.
But it was in keeping with the sheep being quite clueless to the ways of humans and they follow up on lots of ideas that don't pan out.
This has been translated from German by Anthea Bell a prolific translator and the humor is a tad sarcastic. Some cozy mystery readers might like this, but it doesn't really fit that category.
Really 3. For the most part I enjoyed the sheep. The descriptions of their personalities, their various strengths and weaknesses, and their grazing preferences was amusing.
I got the feeling that some stuff would have been funnier if I had actually ever spent any time observing sheep. The book is a little surreal, of course, and more so towards the end.
I thought that it was a little weirder than absolutely necessary. Some of those sheep are deep old files.
My hardcover edition has little sketches of sheep at the bottom of every right-hand page which create an animation of a leaping sheep when you flip the pages.
It's worth a smile. The book is translated from German, and the original title is Glennkill , which is the name of the village.
I like the alternate title better. I remember a story my Mom told me about waiting in line to turn in her cable box. It was a torturous line and an older guy storms in, tosses his box and remote on the counter and amid curses departs shouting "Sheep!
I really liked how the sheep perspective developed a true respect for the view from the outside in. I even laughed out loud a couple of times over sheep antics since it so closely related to events in the I remember a story my Mom told me about waiting in line to turn in her cable box.
I even laughed out loud a couple of times over sheep antics since it so closely related to events in the office. It seemed to drag a bit through sheep character build-up and plot dead-ends on a number of fronts I'll watch my metaphors.
I felt the anti-climax was uninspired and the actual climax was anti-climactic. I suppose I may just be too prudish for such a banal "feel sorry for the sad drug dealer" line.
Perhaps it was inevitable that I'd like Leonie Swann's sheep detective novel. For one thing, it got a good review from a friend of mine, which is why I asked for it for my birthday in the first place.
And for another, it's about sheep. Granted, they're not Welsh sheep, but hey, that's not their fault. It's an interesting way to tell a story -- a shepherd dies, and his flock set out to discover his murderer?
It took me a long time to figure out what exactly happened, and I was actually surprised when we found out the truth.
I loved all the sheep characters -- particularly, of course, the cleverest of them: Miss Maple -- and, surprisingly enough, managed to get quite fond of the human characters like Rebecca, Beth and Ham, despite seeing very little of them.
This is a wonderful book. Crime-fighting sheep! Set in Ireland! What more could you ask for? The back cover says it has been translated into 32 languages from the original German.
I can certainly understand why. Totally charming and hilarious - I stayed up until 5am last night to finish it.
It's a wonder the hotel guests in neighboring rooms didn't complain about my loud guffaws. If you can make room for only one book about crime-fighting sheep the smartest of whom is called Miss Maple this su This is a wonderful book.
If you can make room for only one book about crime-fighting sheep the smartest of whom is called Miss Maple this summer, than this should be the one.
Run, don't walk, to put this on reserve at your local library. It's a charming premise: a murder mystery solved by and told by sheep.
The problem for me is that not enough time was spent on the human characters, so that I didn't even care "who did it.

George, the shepherd for a flock of Irish sheep has died under mysterious circumstances and the sheep decide to find out who killed him.
I was totally enthralled by each sheep in the flock—each with their own personality—and how together they navigated the human world around them to solve the mystery.
Simply delightful, and highly recommended. My local library system has had a "10 to Try" challenge in both What a fun and intriguing read!
My local library system has had a "10 to Try" challenge in both and The idea is to read a book in each of 10 categories during the current year.
The category that this book fits into is: Read a book in translation. I was not expecting to enjoy this book.
I am not normally someone who likes the cute-animals-solve-a-murder subgenre of the mystery genre, and I really tend to despise the cozy end of the mystery genre in general, so I didn't go into it expecting much.
I was reading it for a book club I was in, and I didn't pick it up until the day before our meeting to discuss the book. For that reason, I didn't have time to get through the entire book before the meeting, but I was surprised to find myself flyi I was not expecting to enjoy this book.
For that reason, I didn't have time to get through the entire book before the meeting, but I was surprised to find myself flying through it, and enjoying myself thoroughly the entire way.
It surpassed my expectations completely. Leonie Swann's narrative of sheep who live in a meadow in Ireland who find themselves attempting to solve the murder of their beloved shepherd, who read them romances and detective stories in the evening, is really a story of the sheep themselves.
Surprisingly, there is much attention paid to fleshing out the characters and personalities of the sheep in the flock, all 16 or so of them.
I found myself particularly liking Othello, the taciturn black sheep with much mysterious experience of the outside world, and Mopple, the happy-go-lucky ram who loves to eat and remembers everything.
Other fleshed-out characters include Zora, a philosophical sheep who likes to stand on the edge of the cliff that borders their pasture and stare down at the sea below; Miss Maple, the smartest of the sheep, who does most of the ratocinating where the mystery of George the shepherd's death is concerned; Sir Ritchfield, the flock's aging lead ram, who is starting to forget things; and Cloud, a sweet and tender ewe who isn't the smartest sheep in the flock by any stretch, but makes up for it with her friendly and charming personality.
The sheep need to engage in some rather non-sheeplike behaviors at several points in the story in order to determine the identity of George's killer, and these elements of the story might have grated in the hands of a lesser writer.
However, Leonie Swann's sure-handed narrative and character construction keeps the reader from ever losing confidence in the tale they are reading, and makes the entire adventure quite believable, as well as a lot of fun.
Perhaps the most entertaining aspect results from the flock's limited understanding of human phrases and terminology.
They spend the entire tale believing the town priest's name to be God, and at one point, when Satan is mentioned as a possible metaphorical culprit for the murder, the sheep dismiss this idea out of hand, as they know Satan, a goat who lives near their pasture, and they know he wouldn't do anything like that.
The humans in the story are judged rather differently than they might be in a story that was written from the point of view of humans.
Ham, the town butcher, is seen as a black-hearted villain, despite the fact that most of the townspeople seem to like him, and Beth, a lady who used to bring George Biblical tracts, is seen as disturbing because the sheep find her smell unappetizing.
But in the end, it seems like maybe the sheep know more about people than we do, and their strange, removed perspective on all the events of the story bring insights to light that might not occur at all if we read the story from the point of view of other humans involved in the tale.
There is apparently a sequel planned, and I'm not sure how much I will like that one, as the idea of a murder being solved by a flock of sheep starts to lose a lot of credibility in my mind once it happens more than once.
However, considering how much better this book was than I expected it to be, I would certainly be willing to at least take a look at a sequel.
Glennkill — Ein Schafskrimi in italiano Glennkill — Un giallo di pecore. Leonie Swann ha studiato filosofia , psicologia e letteratura inglese a Monaco, e mentre scriveva la sua tesi di laurea ha cominciato a creare la trama di Glennkill.
La storia, ambientata nel paese irlandese di Glennkill, tratta di un gregge di pecore che fa luce sull'omicidio del suo pastore , grazie al fiuto della pecora Miss Maple.

Melmoth, Richfields Zwillingsbruder, verschwand, als beide noch jung waren, spurlos aus der Herde. Das Winterlamm hat noch keinen Namen, da es noch zu jung ist.
Die Schafe empfinden das Winterlamm allgemein als unheimlich, weil es zur falschen Jahreszeit geboren wurde.
