it was amazing
bookshelves: 2013, sweden, seen-movie

I loved this book! I have a soft spot for old men so maybe that helped!
I totally adored this old man! Such a sweetie and lead a very interesting life being involved in key points in history. (although I did find one or two of these historic chapters dragged on a bit)

Went straight into the story and the story was brillant.

Had so many unexpected events and moments in this book. Great characters including the chief inspector. Was brillant and kept me hooked the entire way through it. If in all honestly I did prefer the original story compared to the lengthy historic parts but they were very much enjoyed too.

Loved it!

Albertina Aw I feel slightly ashamed as this is a Swedish book originally and I've only read half of it... But I did find it hilarious at times :) glad you liked it!


Adina (notifications back, log out, clear cache) I loved it as well! There is also a Swedish movie after the book, quite good.
