Der Hundertjährige, der aus dem Fenster stieg und verschwand by Jonas JonassonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Firstly, I'd like to say that I read the English translation of this - for some reason that didn't appear on Goodreads! The book itself (The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out Of A Window And Disappeared) is highly amusing.
The main character Allan is instantly likeable and this doesn't change as the story progresses. The way the book is structured - mixing his history with current events - provides interesting interludes.
While the story may come across as a little far-fetched initially, I quickly got caught up in it and loved the way that Allan gradually met more people and added them to his little band of followers.
This is a fun and entertaining book, none of the content is too heavy and it made me laugh out loud.
