Immediately enticing,endlessly charming,full of wit,magic and deep,moving humanity. It transported me to a world both familiar and utterly unknown,keeping me enthralled on every pageFull of natural wonders (and a) wonderfully zany energyWonderful weirdness... Manages to make both Lapland and its inhabitants seem both unutterably enchanting and utterly bonkersSpiced with multiple storylines and all kinds of mythical creatures,this rich novel is a delightI feel like giving him 6 stars out of 5 - and this is exactly what I will do. Juhani Karila stretches the limits and borders of the world so wildly,that it seems only right for this literature critic to do the sameA fix of love story and thriller,realism and fantasy,folk comedy and all sorts of popular beliefs sufficient to cure the worst case of humourlessnessKarila's imagination is beyond words! The story is wild,absurd and crazy funny,writtenin a brilliant language and charged with a great sense of humour
