Things My Son Needs to Know About the World

Cute.

What could've been a pretty standard format of some short letters sprinkled with life lessons is pretty well elevated by Backman's fun and sincere levels of snark and sarcasm in a surprisingly funny little package of a book.

I'm a big Backman fan so this seemed like a nice quick read to pick up. Consists of heartwarming little anecdotes, though probably doesn't optimally resonate with me as a non-parent and especially as a non-dad.

Funny, sweet, candid, perhaps some glints of elements to his other books.

My first Backman! Loved it.

A must read!
