Boken är till större delen fantastisk men jag tycker inte om slutet. Det är lite som ett uppgivet skönt snack. Som om det blev för känslosamt att knåpa ihop allt. Turligt nog är Slas mästaren på skönt snack.

Den här hade jag ju läst förut märkte jag efter ett tag , men småputtrig och enligt Jimmy lite jazzig.

En Slasigt fin och småputtrig roman om Pär Rådström. Finast är nog avsnitten från den sörmländska löjtnantbostaden. Det ligger ett roligt och sorgligt kammarspel där.
