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

2.0

I think I would've enjoyed if the book more if it were shorter, honestly. I started out liking the quirkiness of Allan's adventures and the writing style. There were moments where I'd chuckle slightly. Quarter way through, I found the whole thing to get stale fast. I paused my read half way through and found it hard to continue. I hate speed reading, but I hate not finishing a book more. So I speed read and skipped a lot of parts, especially his past with famous figures. Idk, I kind of wanted a Verne-esque adventure but everything felt too flat for me.
