In a small town in Sweden it appears to be an ordinary day. But look more closely, and you'll see a mysterious masked figure approaching a bank...

Two hours later, chaos has descended. A bungled attempted robbery has developed into a hostage situation - and the offender is refusing to communicate their demands to the police.

Within the building, fear quickly turns to irritation for the seven strangers trapped inside. If this is to be their last day on earth, shouldn't it be a bit more dramatic?

But as the minutes tick by, they begin to suspect that the criminal mastermind holding them hostage might be more in need of rescuing than they are...

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.

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.

Completely different from his other books but has everything that makes him a much loved author.

Reviewed in India on 16 October 2020

There are books which become deeply personal, affecting you in ways you wouldn’t imagine possible. And then there is Fredrik Backman – an author with a magical pull to his writing. I find myself drawn into his world from the first sentence and it cocoons me in its warmth, rendering me equal parts heartened and bereft…

In a small town in Sweden it appears to be an ordinary day. But look more closely, and you'll see a mysterious masked figure approaching a bank. Two hours later, chaos has descended. A bungled attempted robbery has developed into a hostage situation - and the offender is refusing to communicate their demands to the police.

Within the building, fear quickly turns to irritation for the seven strangers trapped inside. If this is to be their last day on earth, shouldn't it be a bit more dramatic? But as the minutes tick by, they begin to suspect that the criminal mastermind holding them hostage might be more in need of rescuing than they are.

In his inimitable style, Backman leads you into a comedy of errors with layered characters and puzzling events. He moves effortlessly between them, building suspense by exploring their secrets before blindsiding you with a twist so unexpected you realise you’ve plunged into a thriller.

His writing has you emotionally invested making it impossible to let go. He explores the fears and anxieties troubling humanity with a feather-light tenderness leaving you wanting nothing more than to hug the book close at the end and remain so for eternity.

Anxious People is completely different from all his other books and yet, has everything that makes him a much loved author.

Hilarious, powerful, and uplifting, this will heal you and reinstate your faith in all that’s good in this world.

Quirky and witty story

Reviewed in India on 19 October 2020

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman is an adult contemporary mystery book which focuses on two cops trying to solve a bank robbery. The book also has subtle elements of humor.

We see eight extremely anxious and different from eachother hostages in an apartment right above the bank, where the bank robber has kept them hostages. Along the journey these people realise they have more in common than they might think.

The book deals with human connections and Fredrik Backman is always best at writing such heart warming yet thought provoking novels. The characters written in every book of his are quite unique and commendable.

But this book is quite different from previous novels of his. Yet similar in few of quirky characters and common life issues explained and lived very thoroughly. This one's not only about robbery, it had multiple layers to it and only can be experienced by reading this book.

I received the ALC from Libro FM and I am grateful for it. The audiobook is also just perfect, narrated by Marin Ireland. The dialogue and the pitch, tone is just perfect. But I would suggest to go with the physical copy or ebook for this one rather than the audiobook.

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 have read and enjoyed everything Fredrik Backman has written and this book continues his style of weaving great human stories of life and love together in intriguing and enlightening ways; drawing out the emotions of the reader, as to what can appear to be disparate individual’s to demonstrate how interdependent was are as a society.

Fredrik Backman doesn't just write a book - he tells a story and Anxious People is another masterpiece. His insight into humanity and the human psyche is incredible and he will have you laughing and feeling sad in equal measure whilst reading this book. Thoroughly entertaining - it will not disappoint.

I'm not one for leaving reviews, but I really loved this one. I've read many Fredrik Backman books and loved them all, but this is by far his best so far, for me anyway. It's very cleverly written, it kept me engaged all the way, I didn't get bored at all, and it was just a beautifully told, artful tale of people, their foibles and the tragic mistakes we all makes. In this case, it ended up with some hilarious scenes that had me laughing so loudly my hubby could hear me from the next room. I truly loved this story......more like this Fredrik Backman please!
