Reflection

I have enjoyed this book so far. It has relaxed and reflective feel to it. The writing style addes to that feeling. The language is pretty simple which makes it feel layed back but with plenty of imagery which makes it feel relaxed (as if the reader has time to stop and enjoy the view). This is the type of book where you can just sit down and read it but you do not feel the need to be constantly reading it. It was not at all suspenseful which was dissapointing to me. I enjoy many types but this quarter I had wanted to read a mystery by Mary Higgins Clark because I can just read her books for hours. But I still have to give this book credit. Trond's character seems so human. Although I can relate to him and his life in no ways, I can understand him and sympathize for him because his character is written to be the type of character that could have actually lived. I also am surprised how this book can take the reader into a whole other world without being a fantasy or science fiction book. This is because the Norway in this book is completely different than the world I live in.
