ClareR (6074 KP) rated Anxious People in Books
Jan 25, 2022
I loved this - Anxious People isn’t so much about anxiety, but it is a book about mental health as a whole. It’s about finding a reason to keep going when you feel that there is no reason to keep going. It shows the strength and importance of human contact and understanding: how we can help those who are struggling with empathy and, sometimes, practical help.
But this isn’t a self-help book. Fredrik Backman weaves his magic and has written a book that has made me laugh and cry in equal measure. I keep telling myself that I shouldn’t like his books (please don’t ask me why, because I don’t think I really know!), but every Backman book that I’ve read has made me feel that humans are essentially decent and will come up trumps in the end. And we all need a bit of that sometimes, don’t we?

Set very convincingly in NOLA
It's own special flavor of humor, takes a couple pages to really "get it"
Sometimes if I get offended unnecessarily, I picture the main character in this book, reacting with histrionics an I chuckle to myself and move on with my life.

Not my favourite superhero action flick
Is it blasphemy to say I didn't think this was a great film? Sometimes the humour seemed to be laid on too thick. And the misogyny just pissed me off. I can never take Ryan Reynolds seriously, he seems to always have the same kind of cocky character in most films. The best part was the subtle jibes against the X-Men universe.

this was a good read, again with this author I was hooked by the first page. I loved the storyline and the characters n though sometimes I felt myself shouting at the main female lead. I loved how in the second book, characters from 'nothing ever lasts' were brought into the story. defiantly one of my new top authors

<i>So. Many. Short. Stories.</i>
Sometimes these kinds of weird, old school, random books really hook me, but I can't explain why. This is one of them. This story has the most simple of plot lines, yet it does so well to inflict fear and excitement into the reader.
I loved the writing. I loved the tension. I loved the plot. I loved the psychopath. I loved the ending.

It took me what felt like forever to trudge through this book. The story itself is fascinating but it's difficult to pay attention to and care about sometimes. I think I'll continue the story, but definitely need a break before trudging through the next one. It's very much like walking through thick ooze with the idea that it will be worth it when you get the whole story.
