This was a weird, dark, rollercoaster of a read. I don't totally know what to say about it. Magical hair sold by mafia-like characters is only the beginning of the weirdness, and overall it was a lot of fun to read.

So this didn't turn out to be the book I expected - totally my fault as I it was a cover buy and I only read the first few sentences before buying it. This left me happily surprised by the fact that our main character had magic hair, or something along that lines. What I wasn't happy about was that it turned out to be a mystery written in a style of mystery writing I don't particularly like.
The book had a lot of interesting aspects and the story is interesting, though for me it dragged in the middle and got more and more confusing towards the end.
I would have enjoyed it more if it had been a little more fast paced, but that is me, who hardly ever reads mysteries.

En god, men litt annerledes roman av Sofi Oksanen. Det er noen likheter med hennes tidligere bøker, men Norma skiller seg definitivt litt ut. Det er ikke like svart og tungt som tidligere, og mer thrilleraktig på et vis. Jeg foretrekker nok likevel Stalins kyr og Utrenskning fremfor Norma. Men det var en fin leseopplevelse og fint at forfattere prøver seg på litt andre sjangre og skrivestiler enn de har gjort tidligere.
