review 1: I have to say, fishing is not that interesting to me. Thus, although this book was well-written, I found parts of it a little bit of a drag. Nonetheless, the discussion of how Swedish society and culture evolved over time was very good. The author does not overgeneralise from his own experience, which I appreciated. He recounts his life in Sweden and later visits to it lucidly and with a pleasant sense of wonder. Britain is only referred to briefly as a point of comparison, and does not come off well. I think the title is rather misleading, as the word utopia appears nowhere in the text and there is no consideration of whether Swedish politics is or was utopian in nature. The book includes some thoughtful discussion of socialist policies and their implications in Sweden, t... morehough. It was worth reading, but I still don’t understand the appeal of fishing.
review 2: have u ever felt the fate,,, or how we are affected? subconsciously? say, you are watchin a film and u have heard a place u never encountered before, then...you carry on readin ur bed-side book catchin the glimpse of the place u have heard during the movie....is that called inter-texuality? fate? conscios?After watchin the third chapter of Snow Queen, I took my book at hand aaand here is Lapland where Andrew goes after all these years he spent with his ex-wife...It is a recluse world in Sweden he uses as to be away from any surroundin which would disturb his peace...Lapland...the place Queen of snow lived, the place Andrew had the stomacke to face his past with all its pros and cons...hard to get used to the place...able to hear ur own footsteps...then what about turnin back to disaster (the world, itsel)...even the noice comin from a taxi hurts the ear...even Lapland was surrounded by the capitalist circle...In that point my lovely America enters into the scene...then the atmosphere becomes broader enough to accept murders, rapes...no way for laws which dont have punishment but despice by society... less
