This book is SO. TOTALLY. WEIRD!
So, obviously, I liked it. There's something endearingly foreign about it, being that it was translated from the Norwegian, and yet I could so clearly see it happening in the US that I had no real problems with plausibility.
It isn't a super-amazing-wow book, though, and I think the only reason I gave it four stars is because I just love Markus, Mons, and Sigmund so much. Like, who would EVER make them the three main characters of a book? They are so pitiful. I feel like Klaus Hagerup is a hero for choosing them to play the starring roles in his underdog of a book. High-five, Klaus.
