Beautiful. Emotional. Tear jerker for me.
WOW! This has gone straight into my top 20 of the year and I am amazed because it's only 75 pages long, but it is a hard-hitting, emotional and for me a tear jerker of a read. Such beautifully written. Eye opening and a story that many readers themselves may have experienced or will do in the future.Perfection. I did tear up. A short read which won't take long to get through so perfect for those readers with busy lives or in a book slump. Has some beautiful illustrations throughout to accompany the story. Its a must read from me. Highly recommend. A well deserved five stars. Pop it onto your pile you won't regret it.

Nigh on perfect.
I am in awe of the way Backman writes - his perspective is so unusual and yet so universally understood. Like other reviewers, I read this novella in one go, having bought it after reading what is now one of my favourite books, A Man Called Ove.You would think that everything on the subject of aging had already been written by now, but I was sobbing through this at 1am despite being the least outwardly emotional person you will meet. The conversations between Grandpa and Noahnoah make you smile and leave a lump in your throat. Ultimately. it is an uplifting book despite the emotional punches. It's rare that I will give a book five stars but to me this little book is nigh on perfect and I've been recommending it to friends ever since I finished it.

A book to open your mind.
I am a fan of this author so may be a little biased, but I read this book in one sitting. I'm glad I did as the emotional punches are stronger like that. I wont give any spoilers just to say it makes you think, whilst being very entertaining.

Deep and very enjoyable
I've nearly read all of Fredrik Backman's books and this Novella, although short, was a joy and a deep insight into the relationship between Grandfather and Grandson. Would highly recommend.

Inaccessible
When i came yo read the book i found that it had been put together incorrectly. You have to turn the book upside down to find page 1 halfway through, this goes to page 21. To find page 23 the book has to be reversed again . Page 23 is after sveral beginning pages ! I hope i shall be able to make sense of it.
