Everything Backman writes feels like the easiest 5 stars I've ever given. Nobody can write characters like him. He can show the good in every one, regardless of how awful he might portray them at first. He does suspense so well in this book that parts were painful to read. He doesn't make things easy and things don't go the way you want, but his books are perfect.

I don’t think this man is capable of writing a book that is anything less than perfect.
