As I was getting toward the end of this tale, I was trying to find the words to describe this book, and then I hit the last chapter, and it sums up EXACTLY what I was thinking while reading. I Love Backman's ability to write, what appears to be, a chaotic mess of a story, and yet smoothly and seamlessly pulls all the random pieces together, resulting in a cohesive tale of human beings. His ability to get inside the minds of multiple characters and make you feel for each an every one of them, without being manipulative, or sappy, is lovely. I always leave a Backman book with a bit of hope and feeling a little better about myself and my place int he world.
