This is a cute little story of a 100 year old man who had a lot more living to do than just celebrate his 100th birthday at a senior center. It is translated from the swedish and that is probably the reason why the style is rather repetitive and awkward to read in English. You will see sentences like, "he ate what he ate and drank what he drank … " Nevertheless the humor does come through and the book is a wild romp. Not surprisingly this is a very popular book across the world and has been translated into 30 languages already. If you are looking for some light entertaining fare, this is perfect.
