Me gustó la forma en que estaba estructurada la historia, el como partía contando la vida de distintas personas hasta el punto actual, luego pasaba a otra y a otra, una vez que tenía a los personajes los iba conectando poco a poco. And as far as villains go, Victor Alderhein is just the worst: he’s a nasty, scheming, prejudiced fascist, with no redeeming qualities whatsoever, which makes it all the more enjoyable when he finally gets his just deserts. Gespickt wird das Machwerk von historisch korrekt wirkenden Anekdoten und handlungsrelevanten Gemälden der deutsch/afrikanischen Malerin Irma Stern.

Nuestros protagonistas principales, Jenny y Kevin, la verdad es que me fueron bastante indiferentes y ni siquiera Ole con su curiosa personalidad logró importarme mucho. I would have appreciated this if it served to deliver fuller, more well-rounded characters (even if they were still Jonasson's usual eccentric brand), but sadly most of them remained quite flat throughout.After reading and loving 'The One Hundred Year Old Man who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared', I was thrilled to get approved for Jonasson's latest offering. Ich suchte zwar gerade die Leichtigkeit der Geschichte und den grotesken Humor, der sich auf jeder Seite offenbart.

Persönlich hatte ich das Gefühl der Humor ging bisschen an mir vorrüber, aber unterhaltsam war es alle mal. He worked hard to marry Jenny, 18 years his junior, trick her out of her inheritance, and art gallery (even though he hates art), and dumped, Kevin, a son he had with a black prostitute, in Africa. Ja siis on veel kunstikaupmehe naine, kellest saab õige ruttu endine abikaasa ja siis üsna varsti hoopis selle sama kunstikaupmehe poja naine. The entire first half of the book moved way too slowly as we got a detailed backstory for every character. It took a bit to get into the book, in that of nearly all the characters who appear, there is a lot of history explaining how they came to the current events in the book.As he’s done in his previous novels, Jonas Jonasson acts as a travel guide through time, drops in a few lessons on colonialism and art history, and pokes fun at capitalism and the artworld, with plenty of laughs along the way. I love Jonas Jonasson’s books, and The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared remains one of my all-time favourite books.

At the same time, Raskolnikov himself happens to be one of the indebted people whose finances suddenly improve with the demise of the pawnbroker. He’s a nasty piece of work, his views are shocking, he’s a cynical, opportunistic, conniving excuse of a human being. But Kevin’s foster father, a Masai medicine man comes to look for his son, with paintings worth millions… maybe.The fantastic story of the Viking Orm Tostesson was published 80 years ago but is just as readable today. It took me a while to get into and get a feel for the characters, but I just didn't see it as wholly original and I had hopes that this author would be much more creative than he was with this book.

After a long career as a journalist, media consultant and television producer, Jonas Jonasson decided to start a new life. She bloomed late in the story, but it turned out so well that my German publisher put out a book about her to go along with “Sweet Sweet Revenge.Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). Poliitiline kallutatus muidugi lööb tugevalt sisse, aga rootslaste puhul ei saa sellest enam ammu üle ega ümber. Things take a turn after the planned revenge when they inadvertantly make their target a potential billionaire.
