Lord almighty Fredrick. When will my tears be enough for you?
This book was so good. It is one that I wish I had read in a book club, because I desperately want to share all the storm of emotions I felt while reading this book. I want to pick it apart like an English teacher picks apart a classic novel, until I am exhausted of it.
I am deeply in love with Fredrik backman’s writing style. At one point in the novel I was crying for a character that had no name. How talented does a writer have to be to a compel a reader to do that.
Read this book. Even if you think that beartown was a complete story that has no need of a sequel, read it anyway. Just bring the tissues.
