Brilliant book, unexpectedly funny and touching. Even though it's set in Sweden it is uncannily similar to UK. Backman is a mstaer story teller

Not just a grumpy old man

A great read - touching, sad, thought provoking and laugh out loud funny at the same time.

A compelling but poignant read

A lovely story about people and community, I really loved the characters and was absorbed by the detail and emotions.

Stirred emotions.

Saw the film, read the book. Both made me cry at the end. The book, as with any book lets you use your imagination. A riveting good read. It was a perfect buy.
