Praise

“Few can set the mood, get us cheering on the underdog and being thankful for everyday life with such simple tools as Levi Henriksen can [...] For the reader, what is perhaps most moving of all is that the texts appear so honest, unaffected and sincere.“5 out of 6 stars, Stavanger Aftenblad

“Levi at his most typical – and best [...] in the top tier of Norwegian novelists.”5 out of 6 stars, Hamar Arbeiderblad

“Henriksen often writes up to the threshold for sentimentality, with intense emotions and somewhat lofty words, but he’s in control and often balances it with a shot of humour and situational comedy, while the language itself is so musical, simple and straightforward that for the most part, one forgives him.”Dag og Tid
