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

3.0

Fun read with lots of history! Reminded me a bit of Forest Gump where he just kept living and happened to walk into historical moments!

I liked the way the story was told from the “now” or 2005 and the past of Allan’s escapades! While there was a lot of “luck” or happenstance that makes everything all fit together just perfectly it was a fun read. I only gave it 3 stars because I think it got a little long. There were a few times where I was hoping the end would come a little faster. I think the historical background stories were great but a few just got a little long.
