Backman’s most brilliant book. Fear, hatred, love and laughter, compassion… so many emotions while reading this novel. F.B. Never fails to deliver. And, no one writes acknowledgements as he.

So bad. Historically, the Leviton department store is worthy of its part in the book. Boo hoo love story with predictable happy ending. Took me less than a day to read and really disappointed. I had a very close friend from 70 years ago, 1955,and we shared a Mizpah necklace….a very happy memory.

Sorry Alex, I paid full price for this book. Did you really expect me to believe that anyone give enough IV morphine to put them in a life threatening coma,would have been able to write clearly the details of who was responsible for her husbands death and attempt to kill her. You almost had me. And your lengthy explanations left little to discuss or analyze. Don’t really believe there’s a possible Theo follow up.
