Reviews

★★★★ FOUR STARS OUT OF FIVE POSSIBLE “Men is a hugely funny and well written book on Icelandic corruption and how the average Icelander finds their footing, gets knocked down and picks themself up again. The succinct style at times leaves one wanting more than one gets.”

THORSTEINN VILHJALMSSON, HEIMILDIN WEEKLY

"The narrative is very humorous. The work moves with engaging charm from one perspective to another, showcasing the author's exceptional mastery of writing. It keeps the reader well engaged and excited. The style is smooth, and the lively plot is neatly executed. At times, the story becomes very adventurous, dreamlike, and exaggerated, reflecting the immense narrative and playful joy that characterizes the work."

RAGNHEIDUR BIRGISDOTTIR, MORGUNBLADID DAILY

"Exceptionally well executed."

THORGEIR TRYGGVASON, ENDASTODIN / NATIONAL BROADCASTING SERVICE
