The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas JonassonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.0/5.0 - Allan Karlsson is tired of living in the retirement home after one year, so on his one hundredth birthday, he climbs out the window and disappears. Over the next twelve hours we follow the adventures of his first hundred years, which, as an explosive expert, takes him to China, Russia, Los Alamos, and other places around the world. He's much like Forrest Gump, in his naïve ways and like Forrest, meets many world leaders. He manages to befriend many people and always looks on the bright side of things, even when in the Russian gulag.
