This interesting book pairs amazing illustrations with short stories about a smallish town in Sweden that had a particle accelerator (the loop) built beneath it. The interesting tales are childhood memories from the time (mostly the 1970's) and leaves you wondering if things were a bit odd in this location due to the loop? maybe imperfect memory? or maybe thing are this way all over. It is hard to tell exactly. Most of the stories are fairly unrelated...you can pick up this book and start pretty much anywhere. I love the writing in the way that everything is told sort of offhandedly, like the twin brothers who switch bodies (something that was never noticed by their parents) or the kid who had a dinosaur living in his garage. Very interesting stuff!
