Älskade den här boken den är konstig och förvirrande kunde inte lägga ner den. Jag älskar hur han beskriver saker men också hur han skiter i det oviktiga så du inte blir uttråkad. En bok som jag kommer läsa om igen

This book is the epitome of sunshine. Just sunshine. Pure joy. I smiled SO much while reading this. 

After a man in the corporate world accidentally hits a hare while driving, he chases after it, and thus begins one of the best literary companionships I’ve ever come across. Vatanen (unofficially) quits his job and lacklustre marriage and traverses Finland from top to bottom (well, bottom to top) with his absolutely fucking ADORABLE bunny friend. We (quite literally) hop around from location to location and escapade to escapade, and it’s just the best thing ever. 

This is wholesome and heartwarming, and it also offers beautiful commentary on the modern man’s relationship with nature, and the absurd rules we have constructed for ourselves. It is an ode to (mis)adventure and spontaneity. I love love love! The perfect book for me to have spontaneously picked up at the beginning of spring and Easter!

3.0

at times brilliantly simple and almost magically wholesome, the book remains an example of man vs wild, with all the unpleasant trappings of that genre, which takes a little away from the otherwise wonderful quiet nordic absurdity.
i particularly enjoyed the first half and the ending is quite good.
