Ake Edwardson evokes childhood memories of roaming in the woods, building treehouses and other twiggy-branchy contraptions, going to town for ice cream and making up tall stories of brave warriors and adventure - at least it does so in me. Clearly, not all grownups will take to Samurai Summer the way I did and this shows by cross-section sampling of other reviews. But we should keep in mind this is a story for adolescents and as such the mature reader should pass judgement.
This in mind, Samurai Summer is a masterpiece of light-hearted storytelling that may or me not be able to fascinate a post-pubescent reader but certainly should engross its pre-pubescent target group. Plot and characters are very believable, the prose is perfectly suitable for this story well-told. The isolated setting, a summer camp in Sweden run by an evil martinet of a dame conveys the escapist feeling of 12 year old Protagonist Kenny with heart and personality.
All in all, a very recommendable read and in my humble opinion also suitable for readers that have already passed that magical time and age of simplicity when ice cream, chocolate, and perhaps a wooden sword were the most glorious aspirations life had to offer.

Mesmerizing was a good descriptor. I'm not even sure if I liked the story, but the writing... mesmerizing.

There's maybe something wrong about enjoying dark frozen murder stories in the middle of Wisconsin winter, but whatever.

The more of this series I read, the more I appreciate his writing, especially on thought process.
