jsj 's review for:

The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson

3.0

This could have been great, but the longer it went on, the more the main character became Forrest Gump. I have nothing against Forrest Gump (I actually enjoyed the movie), but instead of being funny the story became ridiculous. I suppose if one approaches it as a fable the plot twists won't be as annoying.
