He used to be one of my favorite author. But somehow I don't really like this book that much. From the plot to the writing. Maybe I have become more cynical. Every detail that is supposed to be emotionally moving just read like a cliche to me. Like the kind of exaggeration from a teenager. Makes an ounce of sadness like an ocean that can drown them.
The writing is also so typical Fredrik Backman. I enjoyed very much his type of writing and was amazed the first time I read his book. But now its just "old" to me, like nothing new...I can sense that he wrote this book 100 miles away. But I guess that's also why it is called a "style". Plot is cliche.
But like I said, maybe I just wasn't in the right mindset when I was reading it...too cynical.
