A review by lilla_my
One of Us: The Story of Anders Breivik and the Massacre in Norway by Åsne Seierstad

challenging dark sad slow-paced

5.0

The book is heartbreaking, poignant, and has beautiful descriptions. I loved that she focused so heavily on the victims, their families, and the smallest details of what they experienced on the island. One of the worst details was
SpoilerViljar reaching up and feeling something soft, then realizing it was his exposed brain. He sings and hums as he tries to stay awake and stay alive.
It’s a tough book and I definitely need to take a breather and find some fluffy comedy books to read.
