Praise for Harald Rosenløw Eeg's writing:
"Harald Rosenløw Eeg is a rough diamond amongst Norwegian writers for young adults ...What makes Harald Rosenløw Eeg so special, is his unique intimacy with the people he describes. Eeg’s central characters are not your run-of-the-mill youngsters, they often define themselves as belonging outside the so-called normal group, either of their own free will or because external circumstances have lead them there.All the same they become universal, they could be you or me, standing there with their vulnerability clear for all to see"
