5.0 out of 5 stars
5 stars is not enough to describe this book and this series,
By
This review is from: The Journey to the End of the World (Joel Gustafson Stories) (Paperback)
This is the 4th and final book in the series about young Joel Gustafson. It is an absolutely charming, witty, heart rending series that I would advise anyone of any age to read.
In this final book Joel is fifteen and has come to the end of his school years. Will he live his dream of him and his father Samuel leaving Northern Sweden for a life on a ship travelling on a Journey to the end of the world or will the letter telling him where his mum is now living change this. She left him when he was a baby and has never been in touch. I cant tell you enough how much I enjoyed this series and this book. 5 stars is not enough. It absolutely moved me to tears, first book ever to do this. Henning Mankell is a craftsman writer and this short series is his writing at the pinnacle of his skills. For reader information the previous books in the series are as follows:- First:- A bridge to the stars Second:- Shadows in the twilight Third:- When the snow fell Fourth:- The Journey to the end of the world Read and enjoy them, I promise you will not be dissapointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A Cold Story,
By
This review is from: The Journey to the End of the World (Joel Gustafson Stories) (Paperback)
The Joel Gustafsson Series consists of five books, of which this is the final, describing the coming of age of this young lad growing up in the cold and damp in central Sweden. It gets the atmosphere just right. Along with the weather his father is also cold, and this book describes their journey to Stockholm to look for Joel's mother, and their meeting. It is bittersweet. I didn't feel that this was Mankell's best, but not too far away. It's worth reading but only if you've followed the story so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a book to read at least twice,
By
This review is from: The Journey to the End of the World (Joel Gustafson Stories) (Paperback)
I read this book 10 years ago two or three times when I was a child and it really impressed me.
Although I didn't read it in english and can't comment on the translation, I would highly recommend this book to everyone at any age, but especially to those between the ages of 11 and 14. This is a book you want to grow up with. Even though I have not thought about this story for a long time and I can not remember the details, what I recall is the feeling this book is able to create. It is a quiet book and it is a very strong book. You feel with the protagonist at every single moment. You can grow up reading this book, I sure felt more grown up after reading it. I have read many books so far but I only read a handful other books, that were able to create a similar strong feeling. I am very sorry that I fail to describe this feeling in better words, you might just have to find out yourselves.
