For some reason, I'm always drawn to books with improbable titles !!! This was the case with this novel ... And with this story of "old", I could not help but think of the excellent "Old, grumpy and suicidal, according to Ove life," Frederik Backman or at very good book Jonasson, "Grandpa did not celebrate his birthday." Unfortunately, I did not find in this book of Catharina Sundberg-Ingelman the same sensitivity as in "Old, grumpy and suicidal." I have not found either side completely "crazy" that I so loved in "The old man did not wish his birthday." And above all, I have not found so fluid and enjoyable writing (the translation is perhaps not help matters). Certainly there has humor but there also a lot of lengths, improbabilities in spades and many (too many!) Of photos. I can not say I did not like; I can not say either that I loved it! It will be part for me in the category of soon forgotten anytime soon read books!
