Absolutely loved it. Loved the humourous way its written. I liked the 100 year old man who climbed out the window better but this one was still pretty good.
This seems to be a bit of a marmite book. I loved it, but then I am quite content with odd humour. The book is pretty much what it says on the cover. The protagonist simply abandons his 100 th birthday party ( as I think I might hope to, also) and life seems to set about continuing that he adv...
یک داستان عالی و جذاب و دوست داشتنی. اصلاً هر کتابی که موضوعش غیر از عشق بین دو نفر باشه رو دوست دارم. شخصیت آلن کارلسن بی نظریه به خصوص اون قسمت هایی که بین کمنیست ها زندگیش رو می گذروند. من بخش های مربوط به زمان گذشته این کتاب رو بیشتر از زمان حالش دوست داشتم و هر وقت به قسمت حالش می رسیدم دوست...
I haven't read A Hundred Year Old Man, so I can't compare. It was okay though. I wasn't fascinated neither by the story nor by characters, but definitely surprised by the smoothness which was with me all the time when I was reading this. Of course there were moments when I had to stop reading a...
I thought this was weird and wonderful! I was hooked after the first chapter or two, and loved how Nombeko went from A-B-C and how fantastical it all was, while at the same time keeping some realism. It was all highly unlikely but still potentially possible, and I loved that...but it did drag on ...
Die Kritiken, die ich zu diesem Buch gelesen hab, warfen Jonasson vor, lediglich das Strickmuster seines Riesen-Bestsellers "Der Hundertjährige..." neu aufzulegen.Selten dämlichere Kritiken gelesen. Warum, um Himmels Willen, soll der mann denn seinen Lesern nicht das geben, was sie lesen wollen? ...
I believe this was better than "The 100-Year Old Man". There, I said it. It was less grounded in history, less "Look what Allen was up to while important thing X was happening!". Even though it worked in "The 100-Year Old Man", (and don't get me wrong, I loved that one too!) I was happy that his ...
Handlingen er okay, ikke så spændende igen. Dog er bogen virkelig virkelig sjov. Der er virkelig mange gange, at jeg har grint højlydt, fordi den bare er så sjov. Det er virkelig dejligt.Bogen handler bl.a. om: arbejde, regne, raccisme, politik, matematik, slaveri, flugtforsøg, håb, bomber, vensk...
An entertaining read. Full of history that I wish I'd paid more attention to in high school. Crazy characters and unbelievable situations but so full of action and suspense that you don't have enough time to think about how ridiculous it all is. Highly recommend it. On a side note, I just watched...
Hm, ada urusan apa sebenernya Jonas Jonasson dengan Indonesia? Sehingga Indonesia banyak disebut-sebut dalam buku ini? Kalau buku ini international best-seller, udah berapa banyak orang ngetawain Indonesia? Hahaha.Buku ini penuh dengan politik dan ideologi, meski tokoh utamanya apatis dengan pol...
I mean, the title says it all.Allan Karlsson is a Swede who on the course of 100 years of his life seems to always be in the wrong place and at the wrong time. He probably doesn't look it that way, though, since he's a type of man who can always see the positive side of everything.The whole story...
The newspapers had been there and delivered further free advertising in the form of reports on Pastor Anders’s success, as well as speculation about who might receive the next half-million from the newly saved, altruistic former hitman. None of the journalists was overly impressed by the sermon i...
