review 1: Трябваше да е една от книгите, които всички харесват, само аз не успявам.Вместо това забърсвах очи на няколко места, а през последните петнадесетина страници плаках постоянно. Не знам защо ме трогна толкова. Сигурно, защото романът се опира на всички онези ключави думички, които никога не ме остават равнодушна - "самота", "смърт", "принципи".И "живот" - това е книга за живота, най-вече за него.
review 2: A grieving curmudgeon's best-laid plans are consist
... moreently, if accidentally, thwarted by his exhuberant new neighbors...and a cat.I love, love, loved this book! Although Stephen King says, "It's the tale, not he who tells it," I heartily disagree. Although this "tale" has plenty of stand-alone merit, it is Backman's droll wit and unique style that propel it into the "outstanding" category. Can't wait for the next by this author!Excerpts:"Ove glances at (the cat) as it rolls onto its side and starts snoring. He has to concede that the Cat Annoyance has a very direct approach to problem solving.""...following this up with a series of terms that no human being with less than ten years of medical training or an entirely unhealthy addiction to certain television series could ever be expected to understand. When Parvaneh gives him a look studded with a long line of question marks and exclamation marks, the doctor sighs again in that way young doctors with glasses and plastic slippers and a stick up their a** often do when confronted by people who do not even have the common bloody decency to attend medical school before they come to the hospital." less

This is an easy read. However there are situations and circumstances we can all relate to.

Wonderfully written and beautifully tightly edited prose.

Loved it - a dark but ultimately sweet story.

I didn't want it to end. So, so good!
