Explanation To Books You & You & You

Twelve-year-old Anon is so lost in his dual fantasies of befriending Sara, the owner of the library card he's found, and of his absentee father's god-like qualities that he doesn't mind that everyone at school is making fun of him. Seventeen-year-old Zarah has her mind on the alarming behavior of her jealous boyfriend as well as her relationship with a woman at work, which suddenly becomes complicated. Nils, who is going through an existential crisis, engages in some risky behavior while exploring how it might feel to be dead. He is also obsessed with Zarah, although he doesn't really know her. Then Nils's friend Hannes makes a misstep that might have deadly consequences. When Anon meets Sara, and Nils meets Zarah, and Anon and Zarah and Nils all come together unexpectedly, their lives take surprising new turns.

Write Up Epithetical Books You & You & You
Read this when I was in Denmark last week.

I would say between 2 and 3 stars. It was better than "ok", but, in some weird way, I don't think it deserves 3. Anyways, I read it in the original language: Swedish (for school). And it was a little bit special. One of the few things that I actually liked alot was how the three main characters were bound to each other.



I really liked this..... o.O

Lazen mijn leerlingen maar dit soort bijna-grote-mensenliteratuur (i.p.v. die eindeloze loser ...).Prachtig boek waarin een geraffineerd spel wordt gespeeld met de vorm van het boek en grote christelijke thema's. Nils brengt drie (delen) van nachtem door in (of bij) het graf. En Magdalena smeert de voeten van de jongen die denkt dat zijn vader god is in met bodylotion.Absurd (maar daar hou ik van), prachtig geschreven en mooie literaire thema's.

I love this author's writing style (and/or the translator's style - so hard to tell), and it was interesting how easy it was to relate to a much younger character. The three-way first person narration was well-done.

I don't even know what to really say about this book. I didn't care about a single character. Also, I hated that it seemed to exonerate an abusive boyfriend by having his girlfriend just keep making excuses for him and going back to him. There were a few interesting bits in the story, but not enough to keep me hooked. This book was just strange, and not in a good way.
