jguinn2474's review against another edition
Messy, wacky, and silly, this book is, nonetheless, a fantastical treatise about personal freedom. Here are some bits I especially enjoyed:
"As he performed his heavy labor, with no concern for time, he grew tougher and thought less and less about the flabby life he'd left...Anyone could live this life, he reflected, provided they had the sense to give up the other way of life."
"There was a half moon, and the stars were glimmering faintly in the frozen evening. He had his own world, this one, and it was fine to be here, living alone, in his own way. The hate ambled silently along the trail ahead of the skier, like a pathfinder."
And there are adventures.

Pretty cool. The relationship with the hare was really cute. Some passages felt like the author is going a little too fast, but the story is nice and you get to appreciate Finnish humour.

Älskade den här boken den är konstig och förvirrande kunde inte lägga ner den. Jag älskar hur han beskriver saker men också hur han skiter i det oviktiga så du inte blir uttråkad. En bok som jag kommer läsa om igen
