The Trouble with Goats and Sheep

[SpongeBobJudgeyPants]

Just read this, probably later than lots of you. Really impressed. Didnt think it would be my sort of book, got it from a free book stall by the side of a canal. Excellent message about not jumping to conclusions. Anybody else any thoughts?

Not one of my favourite reads OP. We read it last year with our book group and I don’t think it got a good reaction from any of us. It came across as overhyped twoddle. I did manage to finish it but I won’t be reading anymore books by the author.

I thought there was a lot of insight in there, but I probably wouldn't rush to go and get the Elsie book. And if I ever write a book, I shall start at the beginning, and finish at the end. I find all the messing about with timelines a bit wearing, though it seems to be very trendy at the moment.

I loved it. Elsie book I didn’t like at all though

[SpongeBobJudgeyPants]

Probably won't bother with that one, unless it comes in Book Group or something.

I read it but can't remember the ending.
Thought it was awfully boring and took me an age to read.

[Chickoletta]

I can’t remember much about it except that I wasn’t very impressed! Each to their own though.

Turns out that the bloke they all persecuted for being a paedophile, wasn't....

Thank you

[TonTonMacoute]

I didn't like it either, I'm afraid. Agree with it being overhyped.

I have this book in my reading queue and am currently just starting her other book, Three Things about Elsie, which is just all right so far... I'm not really warming up to the main character. I can appreciate that I might eventually find a reason in which she behaves the way she does.

[SpongeBobJudgeyPants]

I havent read that one Bird, but from what people are saying, they generally preferred Goats to the later one.

[glamorousgrandmother]

I preferred Three Things About Elsie. I didn't warm to any of the characters in Sheep and Goats.

I tried to get into this one but I remember really struggling to finish it. Maybe that's because I got the audio book? Perhaps I would have got on better with it if I had been reading rather than listening to it.

Read this in the summer- totally underwhelmed- couldn't wait to finish it.
