Commentary Concering 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.

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"



Nobody writes with such originality about the shift from boyhood to adolescence and beyond as this author. I loved young Kims description of the theatre as worse than church and gymnasium combined as he endured an outing with his mother. Down the road a few years and Kim and his friends travel back home from Paris through a stinking Europe that lay on our skin like grey dirt. For me, the most beautiful part of the book is the encounter that the boys have with Freds mother at the same time as

You know it ain't easyWhat is this book about? I can see why most of the reviewers are having trouble. It's got laugh-out-loud slapstick, heartbreaking tragedy, unforgettable characters, ridiculous stereotypes, breathtaking lyricism, flat ultrarealist prose... you see the problem. But one thing's clear. There's a whole lot about the Beatles.So let me introduce to youKim Karlsen is 11 when Love me do comes out. He and his three friends are immediate converts, and identify with John, Paul, George

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

Wavering between 3.5 and 4 ...Notice the absence of the The in the title: there are The Beatles and then there are Gunnar, Kim, Seb and Ola -- four good-hearted, The Beatles-loving teenagers growing up in Oslo in the mid-60s. But what might seem like a mischievous comic romp of a novel turns deadly serious as politics, police brutality and drugs become a part of the boys' lives into the very early 70s.I loved the concept and greatly enjoyed the Oslo setting (as I'd recently been there); but what

Rating 3.4* out of 5. This is not a story of the Beatles, but of four friends that are fans, growing up in Oslo in the 1960's. It's a fairly average coming of age tale, there isn't really anything new. Friendship, love, school, death, revolution. The Oslo/Norway angle is probably important for locals, it didn't add anything in itself to me. I enjoyed reading this, but felt like I was missing out on cues - which I probably was.
