nancyflanagan 's review for:

The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson

2.0

---

I actually liked the first 50, maybe even 100 pages. Then the chirpy tone and Series of Unlikely Events became wearying. Then irritating. How many times can a man blow things up? How many obvious clues can a policeman miss?

I see that other readers compared the book to Forrest Gump. To me, it was more like Benny Hill, with an elephant. Nobody in this book was likeable.
