Reviews

[Ea Toft · Rating 2 out of 5]

Det virker desværre mest af alt som et eksperiment i determinativer og et lidt klodset forsøg på at provokere blufærdigheden.

Denne bog burde heller hedde:

Det glade imellem linjerne

For det er hele tanken bag bogen. Hvad sker der med vores moralske linjerne, hvis vi vælger højre eller venstre

Men det vigtigeste ved bogen er

1 At hvis man ikke har det godt
Er den tung at læse, Merete er hård, men god.

2 Hvis du har det godt
Er den sjov og rammer lige præcis hvordan hverdagen er for et par i 30 års alderen med et lille barn

Tak for den genkendelse
