REVIEWS
‘In my opinion, Jonas Jonasson has a penchant for two things, long titles and an excellent command of comedy. (…) And it's not just the kind of funny that you snicker at half-heartedly, but a full on laugh that will earn you odd looks in public places.’
- The Guardian
‘Jonasson's skill lies in his ability to play with words, his skilful use of the tools of literature to enable impossible realities. Positivity, enthusiasm and humor give hope even in the most painful and unfair situations and make satire on people's arbitrary behavior.’
- El Imparcial
‘If you've read Jonasson's previous picaresque fantasy, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window, you'll be anticipating improbabilities on most pages and impossibilities in each chapter. You won't be disappointed. (…) It's inventive, fluffily benign and enjoyably subversive. No nice people are harmed in the making of the narrative.’
