Washington Square Press Anxious People

The book is excellent. The cover the pages got everything is very good condition

the book was so boring and pointless I had to give up reading it half way

This book is set in Sweden and a person is about to rob a bank, but instead the bungled robbery ends up being a hostage situation. As the story continues, the hostages realise the criminal holding them captive may actually be in more need of rescuing then they are. Something I didn't expect from this book was such fabulous humour. Yes, it definitely involves sadness and depression but overall, it was just so uplifting and I loved it! I started out in this one with certain perceptions and assumptions about the characters and the situation and was completely surprised. The characters were fantastic and I think the investigating officers in this one, Jim and Jack, were outstanding. The strangers taken hostage, along with the bank robber each had fascinating elements to their stories. Backman is just so incredibly clever in the way he writes, the way he weaves together each of the aspects of the novel sneaking in some fabulous twists. I laughed and I cried. It was truly memorable and this will definitely be one of my favourite books this year. 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

My first Fredrick Backman book. After reading this, I bought two more books of the same writer.

It’s such an amazing book takes you through different emotions one second you’re feeling deep for the character the next unexpectedly laugh out loud. Love it from start to finish. must read

É sem dúvidas um dos livros mais diferentes que já li, a narração é muito singular e genial! É um suspense que te prende e te faz de bobo, mas acima de tudo é uma imersão verdadeira e crua sobre nosso ser e nossos anseios. Encontramos nos personagens tudo aquilo que sentimos, mas não temos a coragem de refletir sobre, tanto no emocional quanto nos fatores externos que os causam. Ele te enubria com críticas pertinentes sobre o mundo financeiro e como este pode arruinar a vida de tantas pessoas, assim como também dar de tudo para uma minoria, que mesmo com o MUITO não tem nada. É uma história que te aventura na ficção de um bom drama e no mais emocionante caminho do humano, da empatia e da compreensão. É impossível terminar e não colocar todos os outros trabalhos do autor na lista de compras.

Comfortable ans relatable read. Just pick it up.
