I kind of feel bad I'm rating this lower than the previous book I read to which I have given five stars. However, I wanted to stress how this book, albeit excellent, is not on the same level as it two predecessors. 

I have to say, the trilogy as a whole is probably the most impactful work of fiction I have consummed. Backman knows his emotions. He sprinkled a couple of lines in there that will be sure to force a tear or two. 

I must say I haven't forgiven him for changing the title from "Those Tho Run Into Fire".
