This short story was good but it just didn't do anything for me. The plot deals with death and reviewing the choices you made in your life. A familiar Christmas theme with nothing really new. IT is a quick read but I found it just ok.

My first time reading Backman, won't be my last. For a short story, this book packs a big punch.

"Everyday, everywhere, we go down one road or another. We play around; we stay at home; we fall in love and fall asleep right next to each other. We discover we need someone to sweep us off our feet to realize what time really is."
