Reviews

[Oleg · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book vocabulary seems perfect for somebody with the Swedish language knowledge around level B2. The text introduces relatively rare words every now and then with the meaning often guessable by the context.
However I have to spoil the plot a little in order to make the review complete. The only downside is probably the ending or lack of it. The book consists of three seemingly connected story but no resolution or grand finale happens in the end. The three stories remain told independently.
