Reviews Buffy By er eventyrlysten

Typisk nord-norsk 18.09.2021

«Buffy By er eventyrlysten» er òg morosam, sorgmunter og inspirerande.

Nora Brech sine teikningar er haldne i ein karikaturliknande stil som på ein fin måte fører merksemda mot å ta livet med ein smil, i staden for å la seg trykka ned.

Hadle Oftedal Andersen, Bokmagasinet, Klassekampen

Komisk tone med bunn 25.08.2021

Det store kunststykket i Buffy By-bøkene er å finne personligheten til hovedpersonen, og å gi henne et temperament og et troverdig stemmeleie. Det klarer Ingeborg Arvola

Det er imponerende at Ingeborg Arvola putter så mye alvor inn i en roman, og likevel lykkes med å lande det hele på en stort sett ordentlig måte som både er morsom og emosjonelt engasjerende.

Det kreves mye litterært mot for å sette i gang en komedie hvor man utsetter hovedpersonene for så mange ubehagelige situasjoner. Og det kreves stort talent for å lande det på en pen måte.
