Sweet, funny and subversive, this is a charming fable about the pressures of modern existence and finding friends in the strangest of places. 'Dead-pan comedy' Financial Times. 'An absurdist, hilariously subversive novel'Saga.

A charming, witty and subversive fable, and a bestseller in Norway.

Reviews
Wonderfully subversive, funny and original * Observer *
Laugh-out-loud, typically distinctive, satirical and hilarious * VICE magazine *
A darkly comic fable which makes some astringent points about the way we live today * Independent *
There's much to enjoy in Loe's dead-pan comedy * Financial Times *
An absurdist, hilariously subversive novel * Saga *
Funny and a touch dark... [Doppler] is like a Nordic Obi-Wan' * Big Issue *
It gripped me from the very first page and I read the entire thing in a single day. It was unusual in that it was both powerful and entertaining; a rare combination that is difficult to pull off * Farm Lane Books *
Compelling, disquieting and perceptive * Adresseavisen *
Shamelessly charming without intellectual fuss * Stavanger Aftenblad. *
With Doppler, Erlend Loe has become Norway's most alarming writer * Dagens Naeringsliv. *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
