I finished the book sobbing and laughing AT THE SAME TIME! How it is possible to elicit such strong distinct emotions in me is beyond my understanding, but that is the beauty of Backman’s writing.
Once again, I must recognize Neil Smith for the incredible translation into English. If something was lost in translation, I don’t even think it matters because it is perfect as it is.

Also I am shocked I am saying all of this about a book that talks about farts SO frequently. You've been warned. But it's worth it!!
TW: I do want to say I think this is one of his heavier books, though it of course still has a lot of humor and joy. All of his books deal with some heavy themes, but this one gets really into abuse. (more specifically: domestic abuse, child abuse, suicide, suicidal ideation, cancer, death, foster home)
