A review by kattyatt14
The Atom Station by Halldór Laxness

3.0

“I was taught never to believe a single word which is written in the papers, and nothing except what is written in the Icelandic sagas,” I replied.”

This book is undoubtedly clever and well-written, providing insights into Iceland’s history but I felt like I never really got the jokes which may be because I’m not Icelandic or don’t know enough about the country’s history.

If you are looking for books to read about Iceland - I preferred the style and tone of Miss Iceland to Atom Station.
