I did not laugh once, nor smiled.
Astrid Terese Bjorland Skjeggerud om The woman who went to bed for a year av Sue Townsend:
17:45, 13. juni 2019
Humoren er bra i stort sett hele boken, men absolutt mest i begynnelsen. Men der er situasjoner og setninger å humre av hele veien. Dette er en feel-good roman helt uten viktige spørsmål, en bok å bare slappe av med.

"Have you had medical training?" asked nurse Spears. "No." said Eva who could see where this exchange was leading. "But I'm fully qualified to have an opinion about my own body. I've been studying it for fifty years."

I haven't used my brain for so long, the poor thing is huddled in a corner, waiting to be fed.

They live in a very small place called the internet, where cynicism is the norm and cruelty has taken the place of humour.
