![]() Only refrain from discussing politics and Allan is your friend. His life and attitude are as uncomplicated as can be. From presidents of powerful countries, to petty criminals. A history lesson that the reader can relish!Īllan meets all sorts of people during his adventures, old and new. What a life Allan has lived! In fact, reading Jonas Jonasson‘s writing is better than reading about the complexities of modern history. ![]() ![]() ![]() But compared to what Allan’s life has been before he ended up there, the reader cannot be surprised. One would think that adventure starts after Allan escapes from the old people’s home. Allan Karlsson does so when there is a birthday party, being planned for him outside his door! Then comes all the adventure. So, what is The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared all about? It is, literally, all about a 100 year old man, Allan Karlsson, who opened a window in his room at the old persons’ home and climbed out of it. And a hundred year old who would climb out of a window is a legend as far as I am concerned! I am in my thirties and will hardly volunteer to climb out of bed on any given morning. To think that this would fascinate me is ridiculous. ![]()
