What's so funny about this book is that it takes all the stuff that's driving us crazy in modern life and turns it into something ridiculously hilarious. I mean, a bank heist, hostages - you're reading along, and before you know it, you're cracking up. Fredrik Backman's got a wicked sense of humor, and his one-liners are killer. They make you see things from a whole new angle. Backman's a master of comedy. I've read a few of his books now, and they're all page-turners. The kind that keep you up late at night because you just can't put them down. And with Tom Hanks set to star in the movie adaptation of 'My Terrible Neighbor', I'm even more stoked to see what Backman's got in store for us next.
So, what's the book like? It's a paperback, nice and lightweight, with white paper that's easy on the eyes. The only downside is the binding's a bit wonky. I was halfway through reading it when the first page started to come loose! I held on tight, hoping it wouldn't fall apart on me.
