godlizza 's review for:

Moominsummer Madness by Tove Jansson

4.0

---

My overall takeaway is that this book was really funny. It was a play in itself and a comedy of errors. I liked Jansson dropping in these random lines of positive Nihilism, where the characters are worrying about the future and then another character will say something like 'why worry about that? it doesn't matter' but they say it all positively, like this is great news. I just liked the blunt sense of humour that ran throughout it. Also enjoyed the side plot of Moomintroll and Snufkin kept apart by bad luck and thinking of each other, only to then be reunited at the end with this sense of contentment. Just a pleasant read :)
