This is the third Hamsun book ive read this year and the best. I loved this book, it's just great and the story just moves so naturally and effortlessly, its true that your never gunna need a dictionary when reading Hamsun but who needs to be able to string along aload of big words when your just a phenomenal storyteller like Hamsun. This is kinda like another novel by Hamsun ~ Growth Of Soil, it follows a cast of characters over a number of years as they struggle though life, though all the ups and downs and the changes, there's murder, grave robbing, restlessness and loss love. They are just great characters. One being August, he tells all these tales of adventures that are most likely bullshit but you still want too hear them and the others know he's most likey lying but they love him anyway. What i also like about this book and other Hamsun books is that there is never any throwaway characters or any events that don't pay off someway. It's just a great book. This is the first book in a trilogy, the other two books are pretty hard to come by which makes me sad because i would love to read more, but if i don't get a chance to read the others at least i have this, a great story.
With this book ive reached my goal of reading 50 books this year which is awesome. Now onto the next book!

Sorry! Only just saw this, yeah, Hamsun is great, my first book was Hunger and now i'm working my way though all his other books. I'm pretty sure the second book is called "August" and the third is called "The Road Leads On". Hope you can find them.
