The 100 year old man who climbed out of the window and dissapeard by Jonas Johnson
My first fully finished book for 2013 and what a fantastic and fabulous read. I received it from the Post Office on Thursday afternoon, I started reading it on Saturday morning and finished it at 4pm on Sunday. (Yes, luckily I did have time to read but granted I did stay up until some silly hour in the morning and when awoke, began reading again…)
What is it about? Well, in a nutshell, about a hundered year old man who climbed out of a window and disappeared… hehe, sorry, couldn’t resist that…
But honestly, that is exactly how it starts (and ends for that matter) and the meaty bits in between the beginning and end is where the story lies. It is a humorous, filled with famous people weaved into the story line and with a cast of characters that make the book unique.
The story is in two time lines, 2005 and then through the years as the 100 year old man grows up back into his present day.
I LOVED this book, it really was the perfect book, exactly the type of thing I like to read. Reality with a hint of the unreal to pepper things up a bit. Truly, give it a go, I don’t think you will be dissapointed, unless of course, you are a realist and do not like hints of the fantastical thrown into your reading… Though I still think that this book will stay in my top ten list for 2013. Lets see at the end of the year, shall we??
Have you read it? What did you think?
Am so putting this on my to read list
