Yet another surprise wonder. This is the third of Backman’s books I’ve read and I always am so pleasantly surprised with his underlying love of humanity in the most simplistic ways. His story telling leads to many revelations and secrets that unfold throughout and I just adore his story telling. The story might start out slow or dry, but it’s so worth finishing his books because they make you a better human. And that’s what his stories are all about, being a human in a large and complicated world, and finding the pure love and joy in some of the smallest things.

Touching Story, Lovely Characters. I picked up this book for the mystery and stayed for the story. The writing style/voice takes a moment to get used to but once you’re into it you can’t bear to stop reading. I fell in love with every character, and even more so with the relationships between them. The author does a great job revealing little things along the way that all come together to form a bigger picture about life and love and all of the dumb things we do with good intentions. Satisfying ending that brought tears to my eyes - I’m so happy I read this book :)

Amazing. This is legitimately the best, most touching, most hilarious book I’ve read as an adult. I laughed and cried and want to live better after reading it (not a hyperbole).

Lovely. This books is delightful

Great read. Great book loved the way all the characters tied together!

Everyone should read this. What a fantastic reminder that we are all humans doing the best we can with what we have. Makes you want to stop and learn people’s stories.

As predicted…. Quirky funny. I began to join the characters in empathizing with the thief… when I wasn’t laughing.

Beautiful.. What a beautiful story. I wept so openly my friends were concerned on our flight. It is a tremendous story that winds together so beautifully. I loved this book.

Anxious people. Wonderfully crazy story!!!

I’m here, too.. This book left me in tears. Of sadness. Or happiness, I cannot tell which.

Didn’t like it. Terrible. So long winded and boring

Just Amazing.. One of the best books ever from one of the best authors ever. You really nailed so many feelings.

Anxious People. There is just so much truth here, and it shows how we are all connected even though we don’t realize it, or if if we think we don’t want to be connected. Everyone really does need to be- connected that is- to someone.

Really good!. Really endearing and great storytelling

Good read. I really enjoyed this book. I felt it was a little slow to get into it but I’m glad I read it. Loved the ending and all the connections

A delightful read. This story is hilarious, touching, improbable, touching, and unpredictable all at once. Loved it !

Thought provoking. Somehow turns the most depressing topics into comedy without minimizing the seriousness of the topic. Loved this novel.

Brilliant. I laughed so hard I cried and cried so hard while laughing I couldn’t see to read. Heart warming and zainy intertaining. Thank you Fredrik Backman for another book that I still laugh about long after I’ve put it down.

Creative and wonderful. Incredible. Don’t be turned away by it being a little slow and slightly confusing at first. It is so worth it. Relatable and heartbreaking and uplifting. Feeling lonely has never felt less alone.

Touching and funny at the same time. Don’t let the beginning trick you. It’s a book with so many wonderful quotes, so in the present, profound, sad, but not sad, and yet you end up with so much hope in human kind, in love in family

Anxious People. Great read, full of surprises and truths!

Soulful, truthful, simply amazing writing. ♥️♥️♥️

Another winner in my book!. Having read several of Backman’s books, I really looked forward to this one and it didn’t disappoint. Loved all the characters, with their quirkiness and complexity. Their lives intersect one day and they learn about each other and themselves. A great story.

Anxious People. Wonderfully written with excellent pacing, character development, and wonderful interaction and twists. Brought tears to my eyes.

Uplifting. This was the story I needed to restore my faith in us humans and our communities. It’s a fun story about how we’re all connected to one another and that we are all trying our best with our small brains and big hearts.

Loved it. I truly enjoyed reading this book. The twist and turns kept me engaged and thinking about my own life. Definitely a must read.

They are all good. Just pick one of his books and read it. They are all good.

Fredrik Backman is like no other. My greatest takeaway from this novel is that Fredrik Backman is a fantastic author. He writes in a fascinating way: breaking the fourth wall and asking the reader what they would do in certain situations. I love that he explores the vulnerability of the most mysterious and intimidating characters (Zara, Roger), revealing that even the most rigid people have emotional baggage too. I also love that the story is told backward - with the police questioning the victims first and then the true story of the bank robbery/hostage situation - because this makes the novel unpredictable and exciting to find out what happens next. Definitely a book I will be thinking about for years to come.

Anxious People. I had a hard time with the 1st half of the book. But…I stuck with it and the story grew on me. This author definitely has a different way of writing.

Amazing. Read it over several days- the second half in one long stretch A story- with funny characters and you can’t help but like them

A real page turner!. Fast read, loved the character connections.

4 stars. I give this book a solid 4 stars! I do love all of the books that I have read by this author. I loved all of the characters by the end of the book, which is a bit funny because when I started it, I was mostly annoyed or disliked each character. It’s funny, because people are like that sometimes in the real world, too. The overall message of the book was great, and there were a few things mentioned throughout that I felt applied to my life. Some of the characters end up telling stories or saying something that made me grasp or understand something about people in my own life. I did knock it down one star only because I felt it was a bit difficult to follow at first. I was also able to guess two of the plot twists throughout the book.

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. Stumbled upon this book and it is brilliant! The characters are complex, unique, witty, and lovable idiots (he uses “idiots” a lot throughout the book). The author intertwines the characters lives in a way that is new and fresh, with humor about a serious subject. Tremendous read. Love the way Backman tells a story.

Amazing. This book made me laugh, cry and gave me hope for my life and current situation. Love this author and his style of writing. I definitely recommend this book.

My fave author does it again. Read this! And all this author’s books!

Love this book!. So unique and entertaining!

Anxious People - loved them. Love this. One of my new favorite authors.

Simple but complex. Starts out simple. But soon the story and characters are surprising and complex. Excellent book.

Amazing. What a great book. Perfectly written and what an incredible story. Thank you for writing this!

Five out of five stars. Amazing!!!!!!!!! I loved it!!!!

Heartwarming and entertaining. Another good one by Fredrick Backman. Some of the characters were a little over the top but I loved the slow development into their backgrounds and personalities

Im not crying you’re crying. I cannot explain why this book, on a random summer day, affected me the way it did. I identified with something on every single page. It cracked me up and made me sad. It also made me nod my head in agreement and feel hopeful. I don’t know what else you could want from a book.

One of those books you want to give to everyone you know. Just amazing, you have to read!!

A beautiful story if humanity. This book will make you laugh and cry and fall in love with the characters. It takes a few chapters to become hooked but once you are you don’t want it to end. The prose is beautiful and reminds me that fiction brings us reminders of real life- we are all in this together.

Best book. The smart writer can write this

Couldn’t get through it. The way in which the story was told was unusual and clever, but I got tired of it and impatient to simply read the story. I’m sure the author brought it all together in the end, like he did with Ove, but I’ll never know.

Such a wonderful read. It captures the highs and lows of life so eloquently and in ways and through stories that makes it easier to connect to. I loved it

Ehh?. There are really good parts of this book but I just feel like it’s covered up with cliché sayings and extra words padding pages for no reason. The ending was the saving grace for me. I almost dnf, happy I didn’t but the price should be lowered.

Amazing!. The interwoven character happen chances is truly amazing. The omniscient yet blinks narrator point of view is another great touch along with slightly anonymity of the bank robber!

Best Book This Year. Absolutely perfect read. Made me laugh. Made me cry. And makes me think we’re all anxious people trying to do the best we can. I LOVE this writer🥰
