A haunting and breathtaking tale. You should see my worn old copy. I grew up on this book.

It's hard to believe this book really exists and I didn't just dream it up. It's so brilliant and moving to me, I don't really even think of it as a book. I think of it as a world.
Let me paint you the picture: imagine 11 year old me, sitting on a fluffy carpet at 12 a.m. in a cozy suburban Jessheim flat. Snow falls outside and the sky, beyond the foggy windows, is red and yellow-tinged with the sleeplessness of the polar night There's a cup of chocolate beside me, hardly touched and cold by now. A book lies open on my lap. My eyes are wide open. My soul soars on the soft white wings of the Luckdragon.

These soldiers went through horrible things, but this novel is narrated in such a light-hearted, funny way... it holds a special place in my heart.

Makes you wanna slide on a pair of shades and a hoodie and yell "yeah!!! I'm a tEeNaGer!!! And I'm gonna cHANGE THE WORLD!"
