An almost perfect book - I absolutely loved it! There was a little bit in the middle that i found a bit absurd and not in the best way - the bit with the rabbit!
And I also found the characters to be a bit like caricatures however I then realisedthat this was the point and they were being deliberately stupid and evasive in the interviews!
Overall I thought it was brilliant - I laughed and cried a few times whilst reading it and will definitely reread it in the future. I'm also going to watch the Netflix series, although I doubt it will live up to the book. I'm excited to read more of Backman's work as I loved his writing style and voice. Highly recommend this book.
