Genius! This is one of those books I want to start reading again right away even though I've just finished it. If only time was endless... Will definitely be reading again at some point.

Ensimmäinen osa (Sinun silmäsi näkivät minut) on kirjoin heikoin, ikävä kyllä. Toinen ja kolmas osa ovat omasta mielestäni paljon vahvempia, erityisesti kolmas.

A meandering, unengaging fairy tale leading nowhere. At least nowhere as of page 325. Life is too short.

This complex fabulist tapestry sometimes feels like the whole history of storytelling compressed into one volume, jumping from genre deconstruction and mythic visions to earthy humor and grounded human emotion with astounding grace: Icelandic literary magic in the tradition of Calvino's Invisible Cities, Bulgakov's Master And Margarita, Gunter Grass' The Tin Drum and David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas.
braxwall's review against another edition

En bok per decennium utgör denna trilogi. Den första, "Dina ögon såg mig", hade jag redan läst. Jag är kanske inte riktigt lika entusiastisk denna gång, även om det är en intressant berättad historia. De andra två böckerna ”Med skälvande tårar” och ”Jag är en sovande dörr” funkar i kontexten för trilogin men framförallt den sista tycker jag inte står på egna ben. Hursomhelst, helheten funkar och Sjón har onekligen en egen berättarstil. Gillar speciellt golem-temat och skildringen av ett hårt Reykjavik.

Flipped through, not interested. Seems like a highfalutin mess with some gore porn thrown in.
