That's third Backman's book I've read and that's third time he made me cry. I just love his stories, his characters and the way he makes everything so gray instead of black and white, which would have been so much easier. Also, he must absolutely hate his characters, to cause them so much pain!
Again the beginning was very slow and a little boring, I also didn't love the Peter and Kira storyline, but then the plot became more and more enthralling. Definitely one of best books I've read last year....more

WHAT A STORY.
I must admit I didn't like it at first. The story dragged on, I had absolutely no idea where it was going and there were about a million characters that I couldn't start caring about, but about 45% in it all changed (and I read the rest in one sitting). And looking back at those chapters I'd found boring at the time of reading I see now their importance (building the characters in a way reader then would understand their actions and behaviour, showing Beartown as a specific community and how it would act if something unexpected happened).
