Shit! Bagus bangeeeetttttttt
Sempat berhenti saat baru 20%an karena kesibukan dan 2 hari yang lalu mulai membaca kembali.
Oh God! This book was so intense!!! So real life too! I mean look our society now, exactly same like what this book describe. Everything is politic. Politic is everything. Shit! I hate politic.
Seperti di novel sebelumnya, di novel ini pun aku menangis. Shit sedih banget lah.
Endingnya cakep sekali menurutku. Cakep tapi sedih tapi memang ending sedih begini yang terjadi dikehidupan nyata. This book really reflect a real life. Kayak memang begini lho yang terjadi di dunia nyata dengan segala bullshit nya. Duh!
Ku cinta sekali dengan gaya menulinya Backman. Witty tapi serius tapi berbobot tapi keren. Segala-galanya deh Om Backman ini.
Wah jujur aku masih greget nih sama Beartown. Kebiasaan kalau habis selesai baca buku bagus pasti jadi sedih karena akhirnya selesai.
Thank you, Backman, for once again give me these chills when I read a very good book.

I don't know how the author manages it, but you feel all of it: the enormous pain, the sense of loneliness, the sense of being a friend and being an enemy, and what it's like to be a family. I rarely cry over books, but this book got straight into my heart and cracked it wide open. Genius!

Bachman did it again. This is as good as Beartown in my mind. Still, like Beartown, a bit slow in the beginning, but he always manages to draw me in and make me so utterly invested in this town and its people. The only criticism is the neverending stupidity of violence in sport. I know it's a real thing, but come on. I don't get it and it annoyes me so much so I get a little bit tired of reading about their stupid desicions over and over again. But that's all my criticism really... Oh, And Richard Theo. He annoys me the most. F that guy.

“A gruff-looking man in his forties, so similar to the young man that there’s no way the postman would ever have to take a paternity test, walks over to the Jeep and taps on the window.”
