This book is hilarious. I got it from my boyfriend this past weekend. It's a comic book. The head character is a hedgehog, which are usually seen as sympathetic creatures. In this case, looks are deceiving. The title, Kiroava Siili (english translation of the name: Cursing Hedgehog), tells it all. This particular hedgehog running around in these comics is something completely different than those cute little ones that run in the backyards of our houses. This grumpy hedgehog curses to every direction, for a reason or without one. Everyone he encounters get some verbal abuse to deal with. Once in awhile he shows his soft side too. This comic series ran in one of the biggest newspapers in Finland and was such a success they made a book. The creator of Cursing Hedgehog is Milla Paloniemi. She is born close to the place where I come from - people from that area are considered to be temperamental and gutsy... haha... Anyways, I love this book. If I'm having a bad moment and I open it, it doesn't fail to make me smile! Thank you, darling!
