Heart achingly real and should never be made into a movie because it would never measure up.

Once in a while an author comes along who hits a nerve with every book he or she writes. Thanks again Frederick Backman!

Tedious and excruciatingly slow and one dimensional . A 200 page story disguised in a 650 page book. So sorry to have wasted my time.

Kinda cheesy

Tedious & repetitive.

Exquisite tribute to what art can do for the soul and to childhood friendship but pervasive excruciating theme of children enduring physical and mental abuse.

If you love art and quirky characters, this book is for you. It isn’t easy to follow, but it’s fun and unique.

This might be my favorite book I’ve ever read. The writing is a piece of art. The storytelling is exceptional. The emotions described feel so real to me. It’s a gift to all of us,,

Girl book

I loved every page! Do not miss.
