A Wild Sheep Chase 6 points

It is a book that tells the story of a physiological horror. The book is about a guy that works at an advertising agency and interviews people. He interviews them about a mutant sheep. A strange book already. As the main character confronts his inner demons. The story is written with paragraphs that are like reading a children's book, so yeah quite easy to read. However, the messages in the story are extraordinarily complex. The main character is dealing with a difficult situation in his past. The idea of inner demons plays out throughout the story. As the main character interviews people about a sheep, he slowly heals his wounds from his past.

As the story begins with the main character looking at a photo from the advertising agency. It is a mutant sheep that has a weird birthmark shaped like a star. The main plot of the story. He travels to various locations. It is where he interviews the sheep. However, some of the characters have a difficult past, showing a sadness behind the book. Even the landscapes, like the snowy mountains show the isolation that some of the characters have. The winter landscape even shows how dreary the world that the author created.

The main character eventually meets The Boss. He is the most interesting character The Boss. The Boss is only tiled as that, explaining how powerful without knowing yet of his backstory. The word implies a menacing tone. He is immensely powerful as a political figure. However, The Boss is slowly dying. It is where the main character also learns about the mysterious sheep, where the main character has to find the sheep, or his life will be ruined. An interesting title because the book is called A Wild Sheep Chase, meaning that the main character must chase down the sheep. The story as I said in paragraph 1, is complex to understand but deep down the story means something.

The characters do not have names because it is more about the identity of the characters. For example, when the main character talks to the professor, the professor just goes by that name and not a real one. It is to show the identity of these characters and label them instead of what they do. As the main character talks to the professor, he discovers the location of where the photo was taken from. The journey that shows him where the sheep is, shows the main character that he is on a journey for his self-discovery and identity. In the craziness of his life. The horror genre of this book tells an interesting story.

The story is interesting because it tells a different take on the horror genre. As it is a Japanese horror story. Japanese horror stories usually entail something that is physiological and mystery that grabs the reader's attention. The main character's psychological horror takes him talking to different people and experiencing. To overcome different obstacles in the main character's path. I must say that this story is one of the very books that takes a spin on horror and turns it around. It is a book that a person should try to decipher. Overall, A Wild Sheep Chase tells interesting interviews from the advertising agency.
