I found Eriksson's style to be fluid and straightforward. Some parts have rather ordinary language and the plot, while good, didn't blow me away. It was just an okay read for me. And after all the hype and build-up I felt somehow cheated and disappointed. I was expecting to really love this book - but I didn't. I was lining up my superlatives but I didn't need them, I'm afraid. But the title ''is'' superlative, however.
We also have a review of Eroksson'a [[The Hand That Trembles by Kjell Eriksson|The Hand That Trembles]].
If this book appeals then you might like to try [[The Dogs of Riga by Henning Mankell]].
