Inside characters pretend to be stupid so that make me feel humorous? When I were little, my mom always told me same type of stupid people's short stories at bed time. I were laugh hard but not now.
評分荒誕:)

評分太扯瞭
Jonas Jonasson was born in the city of Växjö in southern Sweden in 1961.
Jonas first started writing when he was working as a journalist for a number of Swedish newspapers.
He subsequently went on to start his own production company. After several years in the media industry, Jonas felt the urge to do something else. That was when the character of Allan Karlsson came to him and he started to write his first novel “The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared”.
“An intelligent, very stupid book”
Jonas describing “The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared”
“The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared” is a huge international success and has been published in 35 countries, selling more than six million copies worldwide.
Jonas Jonasson’s second novel ”The Girl Who Saved The King Of Sweden” will be released worldwide in 2013/2014.
”Same, same but different”
Jonas comparing ”The Girl Who Saved The King Of Sweden” to his debut novel.
The international publishing sensation--over two million copies sold A reluctant centenarian much like Forrest Gump (if Gump were an explosives expert with a fondness for vodka) decides it’s not too late to start over... After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that he's still in good health, and in one day, he turns 100. A big celebration is in the works, but Allan really isn't interested (and he'd like a bit more control over his vodka consumption). So he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some unpleasant criminals, a friendly hot-dog stand operator, and an elephant (not to mention a death by elephant). It would be the adventure of a lifetime for anyone else, but Allan has a larger-than-life backstory: Not only has he witnessed some of the most important events of the twentieth century, but he has actually played a key role in them. Starting out in munitions as a boy, he somehow finds himself involved in many of the key explosions of the twentieth century and travels the world, sharing meals and more with everyone from Stalin, Churchill, and Truman to Mao, Franco, and de Gaulle. Quirky and utterly unique, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared has charmed readers across the world. Jonas Jonasson is a former journalist and media consultant. He lives in Sweden. Praise for The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared : "[A] silly and wonderful novel. [The scenes] will just keep readers amused almost non-stop, and that's a feat few writers achieve. A great cure for the blues, especially for anyone who might feel bad about growing older."
-- Kirkus Reviews , Starred "[A] laugh-out-loud debut . . . Historical figures like Mao's third wife, Vice President Truman, and Stalin appear, to great comic effect. Other characters--most notably Albert Einstein's hapless half-brother--are cleverly spun into the raucous yarn, and all help drive this gentle lampoon of procedurals and thrillers."
-- Publishers Weekly , Starred "Eccentric, unusual and far-fetched in the best possible way."
-- The Bookseller "Scandi-crime's signature darkness is here dispelled by Allan Karlsson, the eponymous centenarian, who with unlikely sprightliness hops out of the window of his old people's home one afternoon . . . Fast-moving and relentlessly sunny . . . Like Allan, the plot is pleasingly nimble and the book's endearing charm offers a happy alternative to the more familiar Nordic noir."
-- The Guardian "Imaginative, laugh-out-loud . . . a brilliant satire on the foibles of mankind."
-- The Telegraph "A mordantly funny and loopily freewheeling debut novel about ageing disgracefully."
-- The Sunday Times "[A] witty caper. ***1/2"
-- People "The anti– Girl With the Dragon Tattoo . . . Jonasson's lighthearted novel shows the softer side of Sweden. . . . hilarious."
-- Marie Claire "This quirky novel is a sly, satirical look back at international relations in the 20th century through the eyes of an old man who has seen it all."
-- Library Journal
看完电影实在忍不住把原著找来看~ 2016年来读完的第一本书,虽然手头还有其他三本翻了一半的~太吸引人,停不下来啊 哎,这一本正经的瞎扯淡,会不会一不小心成为今年的主旋律啊!哈哈哈哈哈哈 作者在致辞就写的很清楚啦“那些只会说真话的人,他们的故事是不值得倾听的” ...
評分翻開書頁,有句話隨即映入眼簾:「凡是只懂言說真相的人,是不值得去聆聽的。」起初我並未將之放在心上,反正小說嘛,本來就不會期待當中有多少的真相存在(雖然有些神經較為敏感的人總是喜歡將小說當作史書去過度解讀),只消放輕鬆,讓自己任意徜徉於作者的想像世界中即可。...
