I thoroughly enjoyed this story and had some good chuckles.

Seriously lacking any interesting female characters that serve the plot or do anything more than be love-interest-material for the male characters, but otherwise a great, funny read.

This was a fun read. Reminded a little bit of Forrest Gump

It was an interesting read, however, I did skim a lot of the political stuff. It was a very fantastical tale that is very reminiscent of Forrest Gump. Enjoyable, but not my favourite.

I love this book so much. So funny, and whimsical, and just plain enjoyable to read.

A cross between Forrest Gump and Big Fish that just didn't quite hit the mark for me. Still a few entertaining moments, jut not the laugh out loud ones I expected.

jen_jacob's review against another edition

I have to say that this book was very disappointing and I didn't technically finish it. I got to page 333 and just couldn't do it any more. While I was under the impression that the story would be light and humorous I found that the plot was slow moving and so far fetched that I didn't even find it funny.

This is delightful. Part Forrest Gump. Part Being There. All Swedish.

I picked it up on a whim and I'm very glad I did.
