Took me a while to get into this one, I think it took longer to get into its flow than his other one. Pay-off was great at the end as per usual, but honestly it was just fine. A good read, not as special as The Hundred Year Old Man etc.

Full of harmless fun for the most part this book was a wild ride from start to finish. Not breaking any barriers with its written work. The story was as enjoyable as it was chaotic… and it was very chaotic.

An extremely eclectic array of characters, some good some bad and very few which are forgettable. Sweet Sweet Revenge LTD is all about its cast and plot.

At times the over the top story could lead to some confusion, however, this could be overlooked as the story progressed.

Overall a good and fun read that was well worth the time it took to finish.

It's giving Scooby Doo, but you already know who the villain is. I wanted to like this book; it has such a cute premise. But I just didn't. I don't know how I feel about most of the characters, except for Victor (hate) and the police inspector (love). Everyone else was just meh. Yes, there were some funny moments. But it just wasn't for me.

It took a while but the book did eventually become enjoyable about halfway through. The start was slow and felt more like an info dump. However, once the plot fell into place, it was okay. Instead of feeling like several random stories alongside each other, they became one linked story. Thought it didn't quite live up to it's predecessors, it had the usual Jonasson charm.
