Naked, honest, true and poetic. The words that comes to mind after having read this book. Somewhere deep down between the lines there’s an incredibly small piece of inspiration and hope that you get a sense of, but mostly it’s a raw depiction of life. Social classes, hard workers, ethnicities, friendships - life. Raw, raw life. It’s a good book, but I’m a bit too sensitive to be able to ever read it again, I think. Still, a good book that I can recommend.

Inte min grej. Så otroligt tråkig och negativ.

this book was really good, it just sucked me in.

it feels like kristian lundberg could have written more, as well as described more as the book ends quite quickly.

this book is recommended for people who like class journeys and working class literature, from one of the richest countries in the world.
