Reviews

[Maggie B · Rating 5 out of 5]

En vakker bok om et barns håndtering av en plutselig død og sorgen som følger med den. Til og med i romandebuten skriver Klaus på sin særegne måte som griper tak i leseren og ikke slipper taket før lenge etter at boka er lest. «Landet der tiden var borte» er en bok jeg kommer til å huske i lang tid fremover.

Boken kan leses gratis på nasjonalbibliotekets nettside, og jeg anbefaler alle om å lese den.

I first read this book over 15 years ago and I have been searching to own it ever since. In Belgium it is hard to find and I had to buy iy second hand from The Netherlands in Dutch just so I could own it and re read it after all this time. I have zero regrets. I am so happy to have this book in my life once again.

Jeg har ikke lest denne siden jeg gikk på barneskolen. Jeg husker ingenting annet enn at jeg likte den, og det gjorde jeg nå også. Fin bok! Finner noen ideer her som senere finnes igjen i Snøfall.

[Anne Skansbo · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this as a child in the early ’90s, and I have always considered it my very first fantasy read.

Re-reading it now, more than 30 years later, I still find it eerie and beautiful. It handles a very big and difficult theme in a natural, accessible way, and I truly admire it for that.

That said, it took me quite a long time to get through. I was a little disappointed by the pacing and the writing style, which at times felt a bit too plain and somewhat dull.
