It's a bit hard to review this book. It's one of the strangest things I have ever read. I remember looking at this book like 10 years ago but I never read it until now but maybe now the message is stronger since we're living in quite strange world.
Setting is interesting. Dystopia in Finland isn't something I see often in books. Black market for chilis is something I didn't expect to see. Book gives enough background for the setting to make it understandable yet it's written in a way that's quite fast paced, so it keeps reader entertained too. Ending left me maybe slightly disappointed but overall, I enjoyed this a lot.
