We were waiting for our first grandson to be born and we were on the Northwest coast far from Oslo. My daughter and son-in-law has just moved up there one month prior to 22 July. We had been down the street where the first bomb went off many times. We were at my dauthrs in laws home when this came on the tv. We were very shocked, because we see these types of shootings so often in America. We were of course shocked to see this in Norway and devastated to this happen. I started the book and was unable to finish, because if the heart breaking stories. The movie on Netflix was so good, because it focused on the strength and courage of a young man who survived and faced Brevik in court and has gone on to live a productive lif, but he will never forget. The movie was very moving and concentrated on life rather than the awful evil that was perpetrated. We see this so many times in America.
