This was fantastic, I didn't expect it to be what it was or go there way it did and I was pleasantly surprised. It was beautiful and I had to put it down a few times and just look out the window to let the information soak into my little pea brain. I'd recommend this to every single person on Earth if only just to help them expand their own understanding of their consciousness and their place in the universe.

My only problem (which is my own flaw) is that I think the translation doesn't 100% match up. I think if I was able to read it in Norwegian a lot of the humour between Sophie and her peers would have made more sense, there were a few bits of dialogue I couldn't quite understand and I think it was a translation/cultural gap but that's my own fault for only speaking one language
