I just started to read Gregorius last night and was positively surprised. Positive in the sense that I was very much aware of the fact that this book was written in 2004 and "Dr. Glass" in 1905 and its not a book by Hjalmar S?derberg.

So before I opened the book I was curious of how the tone of the book would be and so far I think that Bengt Ohlsson has managed very well to keep the feel of "Dr. Glass". I would have hated if "Gregorious" was too modern in style and tone.

I agree with Bjorn that one of the strenghts with "Dr. Glass" is the precise and sharp descriptions of the whole story, the time and its characters. Thinking back its hard to believe that its only 140 pages, when the characters are written with such depth and the plot of the story so deep and intense. A brilliance I have only seen in the work of Dostoevsky!

Now back to see what Ohlsson does with 445 pages and if he starts to ramble....
