En given hit till svenskläraren och bokentusiasten, men även till ungdomar! :) Känns lika nyskapande som när jag först läste Aidan Chambers "Dansa på min grav".

1. Amazing work, but not for everyone - I read this book a few years ago when I was still at school and did not understand a thing and thought it was so boring. But I decided to re read again and finally understood all the complex emotions behind it and it has haunted me a few days adter finishing it which is an amazing feeling. The story so so ordinary yet the most complicated which clearly is not for everyone if your emotional stage is not yet mature or you havent experienced anything similar. If you have ever felt empty, questioned your meaning of life, suffered from depression (or knew someone like that), this is will be relatable and maybe help you to find answers of why certain things are the way they are!
