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/...
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...

It was just too far fetched to be believable.I could totally relate to Allan Karlsson in deciding to escape from his own one hundred birthday celebration, after all,...
This book started off great. Fun Forrest-Gump-Esque premise, interesting characters, and good humor. And then it kept going. And going. And going. It kept repeating itself, retelling the same joke over and over, and got to the point where I didn't want to keep reading. It's a fun tale, but it would ...
Jonas Jonasson has created a fan for life. That sounds super dramatic and I suppose it is but it's true nonetheless. Irreverent humor abounds in this story about a centenarian who has truly grabbed life by the horns or in his case by the neck of the vodka bottle. Allan Karlsson, the Swede, traveled ...
This book. I do not know. It is not that I did not like the book, it is that it did not impress me much. This book has been on the German bestselling list for weeks. I knew it was not a book I would necessarily spent my precious free time on but when I got the audio book for free I was curious what ...
