This novel is it seems a publishing phenomenon. Why? Because this first book by a Swedish author with imagination has sold 700,000 copies in his country in 2010, it has already been translated into more than 20 languages and a film is in preparation ... And we can say he deserves ample! This is definitely a humorous book with a "police" history caused by the leakage of ub centenary of his retirement home, interspersed with returns on totally implausible life of this facetious centennial Allan Karlson. The plot is quite wacky, uncertain but sympathetic characters, the hero alongside the big world with innocence (Forest Gump is pressed!) And we spent a great time wondering "what he will of next? ". It is ultimately a great life story that will appeal to those who want to take it on the safe side.
