Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Beatles (Kim Karlsen Trilogy #1)

Beatles er en munter og vemodig roman om fire Beatles-frelste Oslogutter av årgang 1951, fra de som syvendeklassinger står på spranget inn i voksenverdenen - "Vi tok framtida på forskudd, og den så sabla bra ut" - til 25. september 1972. Ingen går tørskodd når dønningene fra ungdomsopprøret ute i Europa skyller inn over dem og deres beskyttende tilværelse. Aftenleserne har talt: Ingen etterkrigsroman beskriver Oslo bedre enn Lars Saabye Christensens oppvekstskildring fra Frogner.

Commentary Regarding Books Beatles (Kim Karlsen Trilogy #1)

A wonderfully written coming of age story that I highly recommend to anyone. I would have given it five stars, but the I found the ending a bit off-putting.

And although I dont think about it, the reel behind my eyes stops at a particular frame, I hold it for a few seconds, freeze it, then let it roll, for I am all-powerful. I give it voices, sound, smell and light. *[...] time lay over us like a huge lid and we were a pot that had to explode at any minute.*Then we headed home. Talking about all the things we were going to do. [...] About summer, even though winter had barely begun. About all the summers of our lives. [...] We became effusive and

It's a book full of nostalgia. It seems so real that could happen to anyone anywhere. The storyline has inner sadness which intensifies to the second half of book. The book is heavy but not difficult to read. Of course, the book will encourage you to listen more of "The Beatles" (in case you don't know too many songs like I do). It's the second book I read from Lars S. Christensen (first was "Half Brother"). Both of then are really good. This is the author everyone should try to read :)!

Back in 2014 I had the opportunity to see the Norwegian film that was based on this book at the PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL. I loved it so much that I found a copy of the book (in ENGLISH--not easy to find) as it was an International Best-Seller in Europe. I finally took the time to read it. I loved how each chapter was titled after a BEATLES song and the growing-up trials and tribulations (some humorous and some challenging) of four young boys in the Oslo area named KIM, OLA, SEB

This is a really problematic book to talk about, after almost 600 pages I still can't decide if and how much I actually liked it.I definitely got bored in several occasions, mainly because of the abundance of repetitive situations (a trait common to many Scandinavian narrators, apparently) but I was also enthralled, moved and touched more often than not.What hooked me in the beginning was the title: I grew up with The Beatles, just like the Kim, Gunnar, Seb and Ola, but without "the revolution"

First of all: it's called the Beatles trilogy.I grew up reading this book. Listening to Beatles and imagining the boys roaming around in Oslo.It's about growing up, about idolizing a band. It'a about friendship, choises, standing up for each other and others. Beatles is about being young, loosing your grip, taking a stand.I don't like Oslo, but I do like to walk around and imagine the boys at Skillebekk, Frogner etc. To me it gives the city a different life and vibe.

This book is called Beatles and yet (view spoiler)[they never listen to Let It Be and he sells all his Beatles records at the end... I mean, I understand why he had to sell them, but it just annoys me (hide spoiler)]All in all, a good coming of age story, but I picked it up because I thought it was gonna be more about The Beatles. I liked the first part way better than the second.
