A great book - a bit unbelievable in a Forest Gumpy sort of a way, but funny and entertaining. (  ) PaulaCheg | May 12, 2013 |  This book seemed a mixture between Forest Gump and A Fraction of the Whole. While it was lauded as a hilarious book, and at times it was, I didn't like the fact that a few murders occurred. I don't find murder funny, even fictionally. (  ) BoundTogetherForGood | May 12, 2013 | a great story with so much fun and fantasy thatbit reminds me of Der 35. Mai by Erich Kaestner. just Petersilir was missing. a lost elephant, some robber who turn out to be nice, a few murders which were actually accidents and thrn the bodies vanish in a very creative way. i could not stop because i needed to know how that crazy story will end. and even though Allan did not like politics, he was probably thr person who had the most influence on politics than any of thr presidents he met. made me laugh out loud and giggle. ( ) kakadoo202 | May 10, 2013 | It wasn't holding my attention, I didn't like the language, and I think it was "trying too hard." (  )1  SusannainSC | May 3, 2013 | A perfect palate cleanser, read between 2 more serious tomes. Candide meets Forrest Gump, but in a good way. Allan, our gloriously unreliable narrator explodes his way through 20th century history. A dual narrative structure, with the 'now' part being the investigation into Allan's disappearance and the 'then' his unlikely entanglement with most of the 20th C's major political movements and wars. Hilarious! ( ) celerydog | May 3, 2013 |
Stalin synger svenske drikkeviser, og Truman blir dritings .Forrest Gump som hundreåring i ny bok. ANMELDELSE: Han redder general Franco, riktignok etter først å ha plassert en bombe for å drepe ham. Han avverger et attentat mot Churchill, og gir Oppenheimer den endelige løsningen på formelen for atombomben. Det rene soap altså. Samtidig er det — på sin høyst skakke og fantasifulle måte — en fantastisk reise gjennom forrige århundre. Jonas Jonassen er intelligent, vittig og systemkritisk, der han harver over alt fra fjollete politifolk, rasehygienikere og despoters ideologiske paranoia. I en bok som gir håp om at alle har en fremtid, også hundreåringer.
