Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Allan Karlsson doesn't fancy attending his own birthday party. Luckily, his room at the old people's home is on the ground floor, thus the window becomes his escape route and the starting point of quite an uncommon adventure.
In his book, Jonasson jumps back and forth between the present and the past. In doing so, he tells both, the adventure Allan is having currently and the amazing life he has lived up to now. During his 100 years, ordinary Allan ran into quite a few extraordinary people and survived several adventures, sometimes more by luck and ignorance than anything else.
The book is fun to read with lovable characters.
