The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir Who Got Trapped in an IKEA Wardrobe by Romain Puértolas

2.0

This book was a lot of fu to read, and I look forward to telling people to buy it at my bookshop. Every now and then I had a moment of "seriously, how could all this happen to one person?" But then I got sucked back in to the adventure and just enjoyed the ride. My one complaint is the ending, which jumped scenes so abruptly I had to read it twice to make sure I didn't miss a page. Overall, this is the book I hoped The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden would have been. Crazy, engaging, offbeat, and fast-paced.
