This took me far longer to read than it should have. I blame COVID-19 for the fact that I couldn’t focus on it. I read Sophie’s World years ago & this had a similar feel.

Veldig god bok! selv om jeg tror det egt er en barnebok, så får det deg virkelig til å tenke over meningen med livet og sånn. Anbefales!

I really enjoyed this book. Like Hans I couldn’t wait to read more of the sticky bun book. The philosophy in the book is my favorite part.
I loved how the chapters were formatted as playing cards.

I just knew the dwarf was the Joker, he was so strange and also slightly creepy. I’m upset that Grandpa died I wanted a happy family reunion. I thought the ending was slightly disappointing.

Jostein Gaarder is a fucking genius, I've read 2 of his books, this one and Sophie's word and they both have some sort of magic in the writing that makes u feel part of the book. + a surprise-factor that aaaaaa its just too good to be true omfg
