About the author

Peter Pohl was born in 1940 in Germany. His father died in World War II. After the war, Pohl and his Swedish mother moved to Sweden, where he's lived ever since. In 1975, Pohl graduated and became a professor in Numerical analysis. Five years later he started filming, and with success: he won various prizes for his work. His writing career started in 1983. Pohl's themes are sad: themes like death, bullying, loneliness are often part of his books, and almost none of his books have a happy ending. Some of his books have autobiographical elements (the Rainbow series) and some others are based on true stories that came to him directly or indirectly. Some of his books were originally published as adult literature but later recategorised as books for youth.

kurb raamat.

Jag älskar den här boken! Även om den har några år på nacken nu och allt inte har åldrats med behag. Till exempel de olika typsnitten känns lite lökiga så här 24 år senare. Det märks i språket att tiderna har förändrats. Men ändå är detta en av mina favoriter genom tiderna. Läste den när jag var tonåring och läste den igen nu.

Kan inte låta bli att tycka att kapitlen med journalutdragen är ett så smart grepp.

Det jag tycker minst om är Annas kapitel, jag fattar inte riktigt vad de är baserade på. Författarens fantasier om Annas tankar? För i mammans kapitel står det att Anna bara skriver om praktiska saker i sin dagbok. Så de delar som är skrivna ur Annas perspektiv blir inte trovärdiga tycker jag.

It was a really good book. Everything was perfectly explained. When she died, it was so sad. But it opened my eyes a little bit, to know what kinda of things are going on in the world.

It is a quite depressing book and while reading it I seriously thought about putting it down, because it was very hard to read the book. But it is special in some ways. It makes you feel something. I´ve never been very emotional about books, but this one here made me cry. I felt sorry about Anna and her short life.But i guess that´s the way it is when you read cancer-stories.
Mostly, the book is utterly hopeless. But probably honest. It is not an easy book to read and it can affect your mood badly.
