A review by baudshaw
The Year of the Hare by Arto Paasilinna

4.0

3.5 stars

Just finished it, I'd say 8/10. It was a fun book, even if you need Google Maps to understand all the locations he's going to. It reads like a goofy fairytale kind of story; overall it had a light and pleasant tone. The later part's big focus on the bear was a bit less interesting than the slice of life style journeying across finland, but it was all very nice to read.


Spoilers:

I didn't care for the engagement stuff, I just felt like it was played up for shock value. However, I thought it was really funny how all the crimes were listed out at the end.
