Title: Mixed bag
Product review: Asa Larsson's debut novel is a mixed bag. She has an enormous potential, but lacks experience. Creative ideas mashed with old, many times seen tricks.When you think of Sweden you don't imagine rigid evangelicals, and that is the surprising twist in this story. What is much less surprising is the cardboard characters of the pastors and the faithful. I very mich dislike evangelical fanatics, but even so, they are much more complex bunch that Ms. Larsson gives them credit.Little more originality and little less worn cliches would make this novel better and our experience richer.
