I've been looking at many different bookstores and searched the internet and I can't find the English version of this book. There are only a few websites that you can order it on but they are all in Norsk, which makes me pretty sure that this book must not have been translated into English yet, or something. Has anyone that lives in the US read this book, and if so, did you read it in English or in Norsk? If you can help that would be great, because I would love to read this book. :)

I am pretty sure that the book isnt in English. Not sure if they have plans to translate it. I am listening to it now as an audiobook in Norwegian. Really good book! Hopefully it will be translated if it gains popularity...?

The author wrote a whole series of books on this character, Jarle Klepp. I just read the one about him when he was 25 and finds out that he has a 7 year old daughter. Excellent book as well! They are making a film about it that will come out this year. "Jeg Reiser Alene" - I am traveling alone: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1657512/

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to hope that it will be translated someday. Thanks for answering!
Yess, the book looks really good. And I definitely liked the movie.

Yeah, I saw that the author had written other books, wish I could read them all.
And I'm definitely going to be looking out for that movie!
Thanks again. :)
