I loved the other two books of Jonassons' that I've read, but I didn't love this one. The old man was back, turning another year older, and running into to antics along the way. There was a couple of cute moments in the story, but for the most part, it was the authors' thoughts on politics and other...
Za to treść recenzji będzie dla odmiany krótka. Sama konwencja opowieści w stylu "Forresta Gumpa", w której bohater zupełnym przypadkiem uczestniczy w najważniejszych światowych wydarzeniach na przestrzeni wielu lat, nawet mi się podobała. Ale co z tego, skoro niewiele z tego wynikało. Z drugiej ...
A delightful, surprising, silly, convoluted and humorous historical tale -- until it went on way too long. Nombeko, the hero/main character, turns all bad things her way. She's smart, snarky and rather wonderful. She does some crazy things, but because it's a fantastical story, I was more than wil...
Ironically funny1 This story took a minute to get to where it needed to be, but the journey to get there was fun and full of surprises. I love the characters, although some are distasteful creatures. Nombeko is awesome, and so is Holger Two. I love how smart Nombeko is. She is so clever that most pe...
I've been planning to read The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window for years, but somehow never managed to. But when I was offered a review copy of Jonas Jonasson's third novel, it seemed a good chance to finally dive into the world I had heard so much about it. Hitman Anders, just ...
This is a piece of a book! I don't remember to have so much fun with a book in a long time :) ... and I've just finished the [b:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|11|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, #1)|Douglas Adams|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327656754s/...
You'll probably know Jonas Jonasson better as the author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. I haven't read The Hundred-Year-Old Man, but Caboodle Firsts was running a giveaway of 100 early copies of Hitman Anders, so I thought, why not. I knew that someone who...
Funny in a strange and unusual way. This book tells a story of a 100 year old man who jumped out his window and disappeared. Such adventures follow as you can hardly believe. The book is different and funny in a strange and unusual way.
So I get that The Hundred-Year-Old Man by Jonas Jonasson is meant to be a satire on politics and politicians throughout the 20th century and I get that some people find it hilarious but I thought it was boring, long-winded and not very funny. The premise is brilliant; a guy celebrating his hundredth...
I must confess, I don't get the hype. I read this book out of curiosity and before my Kindle. Everyone I knew was talking about it. I read the book and thought.....why?The book follows a old man who was about to turn 100. He escaped the nursing home where he was staying at and decided to go for a wa...
