I am out of words actually. I just wanted to format my review, remove that cursed, never fully accomplished RTC. This novel is a work of art. Backman has created a character so real and flawed but with an overflowing heart. A personification of a sunshine obfuscated by the drab curtains of life. Really enjoyed reading his story and how his life was completely changed with the help of unexpected, newfound neighbors around him. He felt like my own child, in hindsight. I saw him from his earliest years, to teenage when first obstacle of life hit him, to when he met his future wife, the friendships that formed, and to how it all affected his viewpoints in his current life.

I just love this book! That's it!
