... det är början på en hejdlös, oemotståndlig historia med en rad särpräglade personligheter som lever efter mottot "Överrösta sorgen med livsglädje". Ingalill Mosander, Aftonbladet

Samtidsporträtten av den frenetiskt resultatinriktade maken Magnus och hans motsträviga fru är så träffsäkra att jag fnissar mig igenom första kapitlet ... Det är nionde boken av Emma Hamberg, och hon skriver bra, med stora doser humor och känsla för såväl miljöskildring och dialog. (Och ostar. Man blir väldigt sugen på ost.) Lotta Olsson, Dagens Nyheter

Alla människor kan tydligen delas in i färggrupper efter personlighetstyp numera. Min färggrupp är genomskinlig.  

Agneta är fyrtionio år och har bleknat in i tapeten. De utflugna barnen hör bara av sig när de vill att hon ska swisha pengar, och arbetskamraterna har absolut noll intresse för vad Agneta gör, tycker eller vill.

Hennes man Magnus, fågelskådare och frisksportare, anser att din kropp är ditt tempel och att templet inte ska besudlas med till exempel rödvin eller aprikosmarmelad. Nej, granatäppelkärnor och quinoa är det som gäller. Lyckligtvis finns ett utrymme bakom frysen i källaren där Agneta kan ha sin marmelad. Att ligga i sängen, dricka vin i smyg och se på tv-serier där folk renoverar franska gårdar är hennes enda, hemliga njutning.  

Men när Agneta får syn på en radannons i tidningen vaknar något inom henne.  

Äldre pojke behöva hjälp. Nu. Laga mat. Städning jättestor hus. Mycket viktig varje fredagar 17.00 sitt på bar. Måste prata svenskan! Pojken bor Saint Carelle, Provence, Frankrike. Svar till [email protected]  

Några dagar senare står Agneta till sin egen och alla andras förvåning på ett ödsligt torg i en liten by i Provence. Där ingenting är som i annonsen. Äventyret kan sannerligen börja.   

Je m appelle Agneta är en roman om att våga kliva ur sig själv, om att inse att livet är kort och att vi borde dansa mer på borden. En roman där Emma Hambergs karaktäristiska livsglädje och människokärlek syns på varje sida.

Emma Hamberg kan konsten att peppa sina läsare; hennes berättelse är livsbejakande, upplyftande och fånga-dagen i praktiken. Agneta är trovärdig som genomskinlig mamma och fru, men kanske ännu mer är hon sakta förvandlas, får konturer och vågar ta plats. Maria Näslund, Göteborgs-Posten

...härligt livsbejakande berättelse. Hoppas vi får träffa Agneta snart igen! Eva Åström, Expressen Söndag

Emma Hamberg skriver med udd, känsla och fin humor om att våga vara sann mot sig själv... Betyg: FFFFF Femina

Je m'appelle Agneta är en fantastiskt rolig, sorglig och rebellisk feelgoodroman om att ta kontrollen över sitt liv och våga vara den man är. Den är sprängfylld med värme, känslor och dråpliga dialoger. Kulturkrockarna och känslan av att hitta hem är underbart skildrade och romankaraktärerna så kärleksfullt tecknade i all sin mänsklighet att man inte kan annat än älska dem. ... en höjdare i sin genre.

for Simpson fans
Format: Hardcover
If you're a fan of the Simpsons' neighbor, this will certainly tickle your funnybone. Good old left-handed Ned tells and shows all, God bless him.

eh
Format: Paperback
IT's not bad at all but they're other "The Simpsons" comic books are way better. I really recommend "Belly Buster" or "Madness" from The Simpsons collection.

"I very nearly singed my bone!"--Melvin Van Horne
Format: Paperback
Another fun-packed issue of Simpsons Comics. This is the 15th issue I've bought and, with only a couple of exceptions, they are all as funny and entertaining as the television show. I've read them all multiple times. This issue is perfect for the Sideshow Mel fan because he is featured in a short that documents how and why he became Sideshow Mel and he is also the hero in another comic. Jimbo Jones fans will like the short about how he became a bully (he wasn't always one). Dr. Hibbert also has a short feature. Here's what this issue has to offer: "Simpson/Sideshow Sibling Smackdown": Cecil Terwilliger and Lisa have something in common--they can't escape from the shadows of their attention-grubbing older brothers. Can they find a rapport even as one is intent on destroying the other? "A Recipe for Disaster"--Marge needs a new dish for the church social pot luck and tries recipes written by "Springfieldian citizens of questionable character." "Homer's Run"--Bart becomes owner of a demanding falcoln ("I have to do everything for him. What a stupid bird") while Homer signs up for early retirement on the Hawaiian Island Garbagio--which looks (and smells) just like it sounds. "Secret Origin of Sideshow Mel"--The background story of how and why Melvin Van Horne became Krusty's sidekick (you won't believe what Mel's occupation was before he replaced Sideshow Bob). "Day of the Nerd"--Lisa finds out the truth about NASA's exploration of Mars. Meanwhile, the other geeks of Springfield compete in feats of nerdome to win the inheritance of the largest collector of TV/movie&comic book memorabilia. Interesting and unique but jumps around a lot. "Bummer Vacation"--Short about Bart's summer (his batting swing looks totally wrong) and then writing a report on it that Mrs. Krabbapal doesn't believe. "Laughter is the Worst Medicine"--Homer competes in a competitive eating contest, "The Gorge in the Gorge." As Krusty says, "Chewing is for losers! Once you swallow, it's the colon's problem." After eating the final hot dog, something goes horribly wrong. Meanwhile Krusty gets a real doctor's degree instead of an honorary one and sick people start lining up at his door. "Down Home Doctorin' Time with Doctor Julius Hibbert"--Short about Dr. Hibbert as a TV doctor forced to change the style of his show to get better ratings. Ends very abruptly. "The Permanent Record Room!"--Principal Skinner shares some stories (school stories, not war stories). (1) "Pranks But No Pranks"--Bart plays a joke on Groundskeeper Willie which has the janitor believing he's a superhero. (2) "And the Beatings Go On"--The origin of Jimbo Jones. No, he wasn't always a bully. (3) "Truant or False"--Lil' Homie gets hooked up with a young miscreant(who would grow up to become a prominent figure in Springfield). Homer thinks he's learned a valuable lesson from the breif time he spent with this rebelious kid, but perhaps it is the rebel who changes his ways. Sidenote: they wouldn't have had Noiseland Arcade if this comic was accurate. Homer's mother is in this comic and she left the family in 1969. "The Many Faces of Bob"--Sideshow Bob is released from prison but is hit by a Duff Beer truck on his way out and has to undergo plastic surgery. Bart and Lisa try to figure out who Bob could be posing as before he gets his revenge on Bart. "Homer vs. The Raccoon I & II"--I'm not sure why this was divided into two parts; it's just an 8-page short. Anyway, Homer tries to capture a raccoon that has been going through his trash.
