Repetition, as an example may be one of the most soring ones as the dialogues are accompanied with onomatopoeia such as “bang, bang, bang, bang” and many hurtful phrases and sayings are repeated now and then.
The resources used by Backman in this audiobook are also overwhelming, seasoning the plot and characters faults with real kinestesic and painful tools.
Even the hints of humor are quite dark, bringing strong emotions that some might tolerate while other may burst into tears or anger. Without a doubt the heaviest and darkest of his novels, with not only hard situations but also harsh characters. While the message and the values imprinted in this audiobook are actually sly and delicate, the way he narrates is completely hammering.
