It was difficult to get through the first 50 pages, where Backman puts on a bitter front, talking directly to the reader about What's Wrong With The World Today. But as he pulls back the layers of the characters, it turns into something lovely and sappy (in a good way). (May 2024) I just love Backman. I KNOW what he's going to do by now having read two other books where he sets things up the same way, but I don't care. He makes it work. You'll start by hating the characters. Probably every one of the characters. Maybe one possibly two escape the venom. Eventually, you'll find out those characters aren't as bad as you first thought. A little later, you'll realize they're actually pretty good. You'll love the characters. You'll wonder how you could have hated them a mere 100 or so pages prior. That is the magic of Backman. Wow, what a gem of a book! After a rather rocky start to my reading year, I'm so delighted to have picked up ANXIOUS PEOPLE. It's my first book by Frederik Backman, but it certainly won't be the last! This novel combines humour with deep emotional insights, making it an absolute standout. Backman excels in delivering sharp wit throughout the narrative. His humor is well-timed and effective (I genuinely burst out laughing a few times), providing a delightful contrast to the more serious themes within the story. The plot twists are clever, surprising, and satisfying. The revelations about the characters are so engaging that they manage to add layers upon layers to the tale as it unfolds. One of the most compelling aspects of Anxious People is its emotional range. From laughter to sorrow, Backman expertly explores his characters' experiences, making the story both moving and memorable. Backman's insightful observations on the human condition are also woven throughout the book. I was highlighting gleefully as I read! I can't wait to pick up another book by Backman. I'm delighted to have found a new favorite author. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Gente ansiosa es una desenfrenada comedia sobre un robo fallido que termina en un grupo de personas siendo mantenidas en cautiverio durante la jornada de puertas abiertas de un apartamento. Una sola mala idea: una mala idea de verdad. No hace falta más. Un fallido ladrón de bancos se encierra junto a una agente inmobiliaria excesivamente entusiasta, dos rencorosos adictos a IKEA, una mujer embarazada, un multimillonario suicida y un maldito conejo. Al final, el ladrón se rinde y los deja salir a todos, pero cuando la policía irrumpe en el apartamento… está vacío. Tras una serie de testimonios disfuncionales recogidos más adelante, los testigos cuentan su versión de los hechos, con lo cual se desarrolla una historia policial alrededor de las siguientes preguntas: ¿cómo fue que el ladrón logró escapar? ¿Por qué están todos tan enfadados? Y, ¿qué le pasa a la gente hoy en día? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
