This non-linear journey brings to light the struggles and trials of simply existing in the world today. Backman captures the essence of human struggle and displays how we all have more in common than we think while at the same time showing how folks carry some heavy internal baggage. Very realistic characters play out this hostage drama that wraps up curiously weaved tales in such a fluent manner you can't help but be appreciative for the adventure.
