The Only Thing I Owe You is a Beating is not his first book about frustrated youth, but it’s one of his best.’ NRK’Throughout his prolific output, Arne Svingen has shown both that he can get boys reading and that he has a special skill in writing with so much zest that he attracts people who do not really consider themselves bookworms. His language is lively and intense, often fizzing with energy like a shaken bottle of champagne. Because his language is so creative, one can only smile appreciatively – even if it is violence being portrayed here. The dialogue is sharply drawn and the momentum is impeccable. […] An important book, not simply because it is tremendously well written ... If you want to try understanding what’s going on inside the mind of one of those musclemen who turn the night-time unsafe, Arne Svingen’s new book is a good place to start.’ Vårt Land ’Arne Svingen strikes a blow for vulnerable and aggressive youths.’ 5 out of 6 stars, Bergens Tidene’Arne Svingen shifts his gaze from victim to perpetrator in what must be one of his strongest youth novels yet.’ barnebokkritikk.no
