You can read my full review of The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared on Keeping Up With The Penguins.

The One-Hundred-Year Old man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared is not only great fun, it’s also easy to pick up and put down as needed. That makes it great for holidays and other busy periods where your attention might be diverted. There’s a Swedish movie version (and another American adaptation planned soon, I think); I watched it hoping it would recreate the magic, but no such luck. It's like a European Forrest Gump, but better! It's now my number one recommendation for a delightful cheer-up read, my go-to for when I need a smile.
