Truly nothing redeeming. The plot is full of holes. The characters lack depth and originality. Sadly, each character was basically a copy of the last. The author loses track and runs down side story after side story as though looking for the point of the book. The hardest part is truly the logic not written. The book has so many issues. Massive plot holes, details that are forgotten, several errors. I would say it was pleasing to read but truly it wasn't. It was choppy, lacked a glow, and relied on tricks. The ending was a supreme disappointment as well. I set the book down asking myself what on earth the point of the novel was. Not one character evolved, not one character made decisions. The book is a collection of less and less probably events happening to a series of cardboard characters. I can't find anything redeeming here.


Shockingly bad read.

Hauskaa lukemista. The fantastical plot line reminded me slightly of "The Hundred Year Old Man..." in terms of one incredible event leading to another, but without being so sickly sweet. It was a fun read and I liked the rabbit.

nagu lubatud, on tegu uusversiooniga Arto Paasilinna "Jänese aastast" (raamatutegelased saavad sellest ise ka ühel hetkel aru ja Paasilinna viide käib mõned korrad läbi) ja no... on küll üsna Paasilinna vaimus, mida edasi, seda rohkem vinti peale keeratakse. minu eksemplari tagaküljel võrdleb keegi arvustaja ka Jonassoni saja-aastase mehe looga ja seegi on üsna tabav võrdlus.

Vataneni asemel seikleb sel korral siis Rumeeniast saabunud Vatanescu, sidekickiks on jänes, toimub roadtrip läbi Soome Helsingist Lapimaale ja tagasi ja tee peal kohatakse värvikat galeriid tegelasi (sh meie kõigi rõõmuks eestlane Õunap). kui just norida, siis üsna mitu neist kõrvaltegelastest jäi kuidagi õhku rippuma - ma ootasin mingit sümmeetrilisemat lahendust, kus kõigi osas oleks lõpus otsad kokku sõlmitud.
