Typ aldrig läst nån klassiker (om man inte räknar Dune) innan men väldigt trevlig läsning. Kul att läsa nåt som utspelar sig på typ 50-talet och faktiskt var skriven då, känns som att det är annorlunda jämfört med moderna böcker som ska handla om samma tid. Bra vibes. Bra story. Kort och gott.

Man this was a fun read. My only quibble is that Becky is a bit too 1950s female love interest, but I guess, in Finney's defense, he did actually write this in the 50s.
