À propos de cet audio

A larger-than-life old man with a fondness for vodka goes on an unexpected adventure in this whimsical novel — perfect for fans of Forrest Gump and A Man Called Ove.

After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that he’s still in good health—and tomorrow is his hundredth birthday. A big celebration is in the works, but Allan really isn’t interested, and he’d like a bit more control over his vodka consumption. So he decides to escape.

He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some unpleasant criminals, a friendly hot-dog stand operator, and an elephant.

Quirky and utterly unique, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed out the Window and Disappeared has charmed millions of people around the world.

Enjoyed this book overall - after reading a few intense fantasy novels I needed something lighthearted. Perfect choice! I listened to some parts twice. Thanks to the author for weaving in so many world events, cultures and political beliefs. I enjoyed the easy ramblings of the 100-year-old man and the references to so many familiar places and historical pivots with a what will be will be attitude and adventures throughout.

Fun

Wonderful novel with excellent narration. No idea where the story was going but a joy to find out. Some genuine laugh out loud moments.

Delightful Story

it's as if AA Milne had written the life of Forrest Gump, except Gump was an explosives expert and subtle genius who hated politics.

Lots of fun

Great job from the narrator. The story is a bit long but still enjoyable especially if you like history.

Good book

first off I will say that the narration in this is really good from start to finish. always engaging.

next about the story... spoilers
I understand this is supposed to be an extraordinary and ridiculous story and it only gets more so the longer it goes on. really the police inspector quits and hangs with criminals?? that said I think I would be in the minority in that I did not like Allan Karlsson. I wouldn't bring this up except that I think the author wants him to be a likable character and a positive foil to all the political leaders he meets. Allan doesn't care about politics only drinking and helping friends, but he also commits crimes at will, lies about them and is willing to help anybody despite their intentions as long as they are friendly to him. again I realize I'm probably taking it too seriously, but it is enough that I would not read the second book because of not liking him.

good if you know what you're getting into

This was very long. I found that I would get easily distracted. Sometimes couldn’t figure it out and had to reverse several times!

Long
