Very funny. It's anti-depression-ing and improves mood! :)

I was recommended this book by a family member and it did not disappoint at all, the story was entertaining, extremely funny and immersing, from the very beginning your at a loss of words and by the end you find yourself holding your breath. The writing, even though it was originally written in Swedish, is very well done, perfect for conveying the humour and remarkable storyline. Loved it and would 100% recommend.

Kein Wunder, dass das ein Bestseller war. Liest sich superleicht weg, hat den typischen Astrid-Lindgren-Tonfall (sind alle Übersetzungen aus dem Schwedischen so?) und wird nie langweilig.

Für mich trotzdem nicht fünfsternewürdig, da auf der einen Seite viel zu übertrieben, auf der anderen trotzdem nichts bemerkenswertes passiert (jaja, ich weiß dass das widersprüchlich klingt, ich kann es nur nicht besser ausdrücken).
