[Vita Mikuličiūtė · Rating 3 out of 5]

Labai keistas hipiškas komiksas apie suomių kančias ir identitetą. Būnant ne suomiu sunkoka vietom suprasti.

[Leo Martin · Rating 3 out of 5]

It catches you off guard with its humor in places you didn’t expect, then quietly pivots into something more introspective by the end.

[Psylocke · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very strong moments mixed with mixed emotions. Book explains many key factors of Finnishness, but it would have needed some editing. Historical bits lost the humor and dragged in the middle.

All in all you should read this, if you want to know more about Finns or even understand where are they coming from.
