Not entirely sure about the rating. Should probably have read it rather than listened to it. Jan Guillou's reading didn't bring much to the experience. I'm a big fan of the movie adaption, and having read the book now, I'd say I prefer the movie over the book.You're evil incarnate, and you need to be destroyed.Erik Ponti just wants to leave all the violence and criminality behind. He wants to get away from his sadistic devil of a father, his dreary school, and the so-called friends who let him down. When he is transferred to a new boarding school, Stjärnberg, he thinks it might just be the saving grace he has been waiting for. He can finally start over: nobody knows him on Stjärnberg. Instead of Erik the violent gang leader, he can be Erik, the quiet
This novel was an amazing! It tells a story of a dysfunctional kid who literary needs to fight his way through life. A story of the hard way of life and the light at the end of the tunnel. A brutal story but worth reading!
This is by far one of the most chilling books I've ever read. It's more or less entirely autobiographical, about a bullying and physically abusive father, and the years the author/protagonist spent in an upperclass boardingschool where you end up at the bottom of the hierarchy if you don't fight your way up.
Sweden in the late 1950s. At home, teenager Erik Ponti is beaten by his sadistic step-father. At school, he is a gang-leader who steal audio-disks and resell them, until he is caught and expelled. As a result, Erik Ponti is sent to a boarding school meant for the male elite of the Swedish society, were discipline is managed by the students themselves.Bullying and corporal punishment by older students are part of everyday life at the Stjärnsberg school. Except that Erik Ponti wont let himself be
We read this book in my Swedish class, and I was very pleasantly surprised. This book was great to discuss as it took up a lot of heavy topics. I thought this book was written in a brilliant way and I am hoping to read more by Guillou in the future.
