Really wanted to like this one but it fell flat for me.

Backman?
Backman.

But for real, Backman is truly an amazing person and I hope that he will write many more books to come.

Sidenote; book translations are quite slow (khm, khm The Winners) but so important. Thanks to all the wonderful translators who gave a chance to so many people to read his books. I am and forever will be grateful.
