The Centenarian Who Climbed Out Through the Window and Disappeared

Jonas Jonasson wrote a bonbon of a story for the world to enjoy. It's not published here yet, but I'm reading it already, and I promise that with every page you turn your smile will get wider.
The strange title is simply a jumping board into adventure, into reflection of the futility of modern life, where sweet and bitter are balanced perfectly to never leave you with either after-taste of sugary melancholy nor bitter disappointment.
There is not a whimper of whining in this tale, despite some pretty dire circumstances along the way. It maintains a smirk as it talks matter of fact about grim events in the life of the main players. A rich, fun and generous book.
