Normally I am not a fan of book from the past. When I started reading this book I had no idea what to expect. The first 100/150 pages are.... Slow and long.... But after you get the story it is really nice written. The middle chapter is really good and builds up a lot excitement about what will happen next. You get sucked into the story about the family. Unfortunately as good as the middle part is - I think everyone was waiting for the '' big wow '' at the end. If you wait for that you will be a bit disappointed. The end is fast and confusion and you won't get answeres for some of the big questions you had on your mind during the whole book. The end also doesn't really make sense in a lot of point. Sadly it looks like the author had enough of spinning around and around and just wanted to finish the book in an evening.
But.. Anyway the book is good entertaining. And if you wanna read a book which you can read in the evening on the couch or in the morning on the tube where it doesn't matter if your mind is 100 percent there than this is deifnately the right book.

Absolute wonderful. For everyone who had to go though dark times in their life - this is like a travel report through depression - absolute honest.

This book speaks straight from your souls. One of the books where you feel like having a chat with a good friend and agree about how life works. Absolute brilliant in a funny way which makes you think about your own behaviour as well

If you start reading this book you won't stop!this book is written like a conversation between two people. It will guide you through the biggest questions of life and gives you an easy way to see solutions for problems in life with the '' Adler psychology '' - fo everyone who doesn't know it Adler was a great psychologist, same time as Freud and saw life a bit different. Long story short : everything can be changed - the opposite of Freud who thought what happened to you as a child will define the rest of your life.
This book is written in an easy way and is an absolute page turner ?
