At first I was a bit confused reading this book but then I remembered there short stories in one book. I love Fredrick Backman, his book are amazing and there are only two books of his that I have not liked. Beartown is one of my favourite books, I still have to read The Winners, I am hoping to read that book during my Christmas vacation. I am very excited to read that book. I will read this book again, because I read it on my IPad and I feel like I missed some things. These short stories are personal and really let you get to know the person. This man's writing is excellent, and I will always pick up a new book that he writes, whenever he writes a new book.

A bit of a heart-wrenching tale of a father, writing to his son. A short tale, my second read from the same author and I must admit - I have a new favourite author now.

This short story was good but it just didn't do anything for me. The plot deals with death and reviewing the choices you made in your life. A familiar Christmas theme with nothing really new. IT is a quick read but I found it just ok.

My first time reading Backman, won't be my last. For a short story, this book packs a big punch.
