I really enjoyed this book. It was laugh out loud all the way, ingeniously plotted .

Hey, das ist ja wirklich so nett, wie alle sagen! Ich hab es als ungekürztes Hörbuch gehört, gelesen von Otto Sander, und fand das so richtig gelungen! Dieser Alan ist extremst sympathisch und verschroben, ein schwedischer Forrest Gump, nur mit Sprengstoff und Elefant statt mit Shrimps. Es wimmelt nur so von skurilen Figuren und verdrehten Einfällen, und Sander (den ich überhaupt nicht erkannt habe an der Stimme!) macht das super - nicht überkanditelt und trotzdem sehr unterhaltsam. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass ich das Buch irgendwann nochmal höre, einfach, weil es so nett ist. Und als "Nachfolgemodel" habe ich mir jetzt den "Mann namens Ove" angeschafft, das soll ja in die gleiche Richtung gehen - ich bin gespannt....

Brilliant read.

Its absolutely absurd, chaotic journey. 

There moments, where the humor misses its mark - i assume its due to translation. 

But most of the time I have was laughing out loud, having a blast.
