The story starts well and promises to be crazy to perfection, is what drew me to this book. But over the advance of the reading, I realized that this one was only a pretext to trace the major events of the 20th century, so crazy indeed, but I never found funny and boredom settled quickly. I have not really managed to get into the adventures not credible that old who did not want ... and put a lot of time to finish the novel, which I do not understand success.
