Evan

This may be the funniest book I've ever read while simultaneously impacting my outlook on life in a way that few books ever have. I love how the book is structured, the characters are all so easy to get behind (especially Ove of course). It's the perfect balance of hilarious and meaningful while remaining believable and interesting. Can't recommend this book enough.

I really wanted to like this book. The foreword and title and whatnot had me excited, expecting something truly miraculous, and while Eben's survival was a miracle, in my opinion he really fails to make his claim believable. He explains potential justifications for his experience, but then quickly writes them off with little explanation, always defaulting to the fact that each theory couldn't explain the "realness" of his experience.
