I remember reading A Man Called Ove in 2017 and being smitten by the author’s writing and imagination. I wonder why I didn’t pick up his other books right after that. Anyway, I came across his latest release and decided to order it then and there because I wanted something light, breezy, funny and I knew this author could deliver that to me in a book. The story is set in a small town of Sweden and revolves around the day before New Year’s Eve. After a failed attempt at bank robbery, there is a hostage drama going on in a flat around which the book is set. Following the lives of a host of characters, we witness their sentiments and anxieties evolving with every scene and incident as the plot unfurls. We see their ups and downs, we hear the pain and happiness echoing in their shaky voices, we look at the smallness of life and the immeasurable nature of it as age or time takes control over self. It was funny and a life affirming book. A book that spoke about kindness, and compassion. It is a novel that stops being fiction and speaks closely to us, not in our ears, but to our hearts; how important and beautiful life can sometimes be, even on the worst days. Yes, I have written down praises of this book but I don’t think it is as good as AMCO. I felt the author was ambitious in this book, with too many characters and too many stories. It left little for me to sit with one character and try to know them closely myself. I felt the author telling me all things about life and I don’t like it when an author does that. It begins to seem like a self-help book and I don’t seek that in fiction. I wanted the author simply to show me what lives do these people live. That’s all. However, I do recommend you this book if you are looking for something light and positive. It will put a smile on your face, for sure.

How many times do you come across a book that feels like a hot coffee on a chilly evening? How many times do you fall in love with writing by the author just right away when you start reading? And Fredrik Backman is that author for me. Few years back when I read A Man Called Ove, I knew I was going to read all the works by the author but never prioritised it. But after reading ANXIOUS PEOPLE i’m more than sure I am going to cover all his works. Now let’s about the book. Not that I have enough vocabulary to put my thoughts into words.Not that I would be able to convey that feeling here. But still I will give it a try. To talk.

Anxious People is the most relatable book I have read so far. The way the author has put light on the mental health issues, what the characters are actually going through inside them. Everything is so beautiful. I don’t think I have come across a book which describes human connection, the effect they have on each other so beautifully. The way he has described how we feel at our lowest, during disappointment, the love for our children, the feeling of despair, grief is something I can never put words to. Even after mention of suicide and the struggles of the character, the book didn’t break me instead it was heartwarming, though I got really sad while reading some of the parts.

Mr Backman has a running theme throughout his books, i.e. the tangled chaos of human connection and the beauty that lies within. This book is no different. People are explored and we follow their journey towards their own understanding of the world. Mr Backman has done it again.

This book captivated my attention like no other book has ever done before. It's downright funny, fast paced and pretty modern and relatable. I love the author's style of writing, he talks about social issues that makes you want to laugh without losing the seriousness of what he is trying to say. There are multiple plot twists in the book that just keeps adding to the suspense. The story is told from the point of view of all the characters and you can't help but love them for who they are. Absolutely loved it.

Connections, Connections, Connections - Life is fulfilling and dreadful simultaneously

Reviewed in India on 2 January 2021

Verified Purchase

The book is a story, but it dawns on you that the story could very well have a lot of realism to it. It can tell you a lot of things about yourself, without putting them in words necessarily.

It hits you at the right spots, it plays with you and gives you a realisation. If there were a visualisation of moments of oxymorons. This is because it gives you hope and despair all at the same time. It's an amazing reference to anxiety, it's what many like me too go through.

Please do pick this one up readers, because it'll end up giving you a lot about yourself.

Best book

Reviewed in India on 1 April 2021

It’s the best book I have read in a while. The novel simply revolves around the complicated lives of certain millennials who happen to be held hostage by a hostage taker who is really a bank robber. The narration is humorous and touching. I picked up this novel assuming it would be another chance to be in the world of the man who wrote “A Man Called Ove” , but he really surprised me for the better. I couldn’t stop reading this once I started.

Hit and a miss - Overall OK

Reviewed in India on 17 March 2021

Some of it was good. Too much of unnecessary feel good moments streched to fill pages. I couldn't connect with any of the characters personally. There was no real emotion.

Very unrealistic at times.

A better read from the same author is - A man called Ove. I had cried reading that book

Mixed feelings

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2020

I often love reading the work of Frederick Backman, first encountering his world in Grandmother sends her regards. The best thing about this book is the plot, which I think is quite a new venture for Backman but still manages to convey his usual messages and style. Kudos to that! The theme of mental illness and the consequences of that are also quite powerfully conveyed. However, despite some of the heart-rending and heart-warming moments and issues that really hit home for me, I have a couple of issues with this book. Firstly, the storylines and ultimate ending or endings are quite predictable, if you have read enough book by this author. It’s always about dysfunctional family, love and always always death and grief. I wish he would consider writing a book without any mention of death for once in the future, so it wouldn’t get so tedious over the time. Secondly, it gets so bogged down with all the political and ‘diversity’ statement to the point of being an overkill. Sure the author is most probably a fierce advocate for these people, but a story shouldn’t always be about what the author thinks, but how it might reflect the society and what other people actually think. Maybe for once he could leave immigration and stuff like that alone. Or maybe it’s just a Swedish thing, I don’t know. It just feels like everything he says, he is trying to make some sort of statement somehow, and regardless of my views on those issues, I find them to interfere too much with the story. Overall, I would still say that this book, like many of Backman’s books, is worth a read.

I'm a little biased but Backman can do no wrong! I thought this was a stunning novel, he is hands down one of my favorite authors and I found Anxious People to be incredible!

Perhaps this is a story about a hostage situation, anxious people, idiots, an apartment viewing, a police investigation, a bridge.

Perhaps this is a story about human relationships, which is something Backman writes about masterfully. This one was no exception, I laughed, I cried, I savored every word and page. Another brilliant novel by one of the best!

This was a very good read, a strange, meandering book that at times made me wonder where on earth it was going. However I have read all of this authors books and when I thought about it they are all like this. He writes beautifully about human connection and the vulnerabilities we all face at one time or another and he weaves a story around these themes that at times resonates so poignantly and usually ends up with me going from laughter to tears and back again.
