A quirky little book about a 100 year old man, a hot dog stand owner, a career thief, and a woman who has an elephant, among other minor characters. Charming and interesting and whimsical. It says it’s part one, so I guess we will see if Allen and his friends get into other misadventures.

I fell asleep while listening and didn't feel like I missed anything or needed to rewind... It tells the current timeline and alternates with the guys life up to then. I didn't find the "history" chapters interesting when I was wanted to know what happened in the current.

The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared was really good at first, but the second part was not as interesting, unfortunately. What I really liked about this book was the writing style, the characters, especially Allan, and the way it presented important historical events. The first part was quick, as well, witty and funny. The action was plenty and the mystery was pretty decent. However the second part was slow and the present story had hit a standstill. But, still, the author's style was pretty entertaining.
