Reviews

[Jon Salte · Rating 4 out of 5]

Malar fram byen, sentimentalt og usentimentalt på same tid. Lurvete, skrattande Dublin. Gler meg til å reise dit igjen

[Marte Ekker Kristiansen]

Frode Grytten summer er i gang.

[Elin Lillebø · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bøyer meg som vanleg i støvet for kvar setning frå Frode Grytten.
Dublin er nydeleg skildra og opplevd.
