This is the second book in the series of three books about the AIDS outbreak in Sweden in the early eighties. I have to say that I found this to be much better than the first one, it gripped me in a completely different way and it was hard to put away. You can notice that by the fact it took me a lot less time to get through it than the first.
In this book the pain and suffering from the actual disease becomes more evident, and the pain from the people close to the sick people. Often when reading a book and you don’t really get in to it, most people choose not to read the following books. In this case I am happy that I did and it is a pain that we have to wait until fall to be able to read the third one. I don’t understand why they wait that long when they have already made a series of all three books and shown it on TV.
I haven’t heard anything about an english translation of the books, if you can read swedish though then read them! If nothing else it is a good reminder to why we all should have safe sex and use condoms!
