Sweet Sweet Revenge Ltd.: The latest hilarious feel-good fiction from the internationally bestselling Jonas Jonasson and the most fun you’ll have in 2021

Product Information

In my new novel, one of the main characters fantasises about planting a hedge next to his neighbour’s plot, with the intention of letting it to grow until it obscures the sun for the neighbour’s carrot bed. Und was einerseits Jonassons Stärke ist, nämlich sich hemmungslos jeder Groteske zu bedienen, die sich bietet, wird andererseits bald inflationär: Wenn alles denkbar ist, überrascht nichts mehr so richtig. Overall, this was an entertaining read despite its issues, and my disappointment in it might have stemmed more from my high expectations than anything else.

On the other hand, I liked the inspiration of the author to connect his story with the history of art,painting, art auctions, Irma Stern and so on. The introvert computer genius Lisbeth Salander is maltreated by authorities and men in power in a dystopian Sweden. 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 art world, supplying plenty of laughs along the way. It was a European publishing sensation, lauded for its quirky and original storyline that cleverly weaves together the life of a hundred-year-old man with some of the most significant events of the 20 th century. Hinzu kommt bei der Lektüre ein zunehmender Widerwille gegen die Schablonenhaftigkeit der Figuren und die klischeehaftige Darstellung der Massai.All in all the book can be summarised as a set of incoherent acts designed to place the book's slapstick personas in supposedly "fun" situations for cheap laughs. The plot is of course based on impossibilities, coincidences and farsical misunderstandings and doesn't stand any serious scrutinity. I wouldn't *not* recommend this book necessarily, but it sounds like The 100 Year Old Man is the one to read of Jonasson's books. Note: I would like to than Netgalley and Harper collins for providing the ARC of the book for review.

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. Despite all the horrible human behavior on display, your books are ultimately not only funny but upbeat.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. 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. Kennt ihr auch diese Bücher, bei denen ihr es bereut, sie nicht spätestens nach der Hälfte abgebrochen zu haben.

I also enjoyed learning something about Irma Stern, an artist I knew nothing about but whose work I'll definitely be checking out more after reading this book. I enjoyed this book, an easy read, funny, and in these trying times, a sort of escapism we all need. Taking his time … Daniel Rigby as Dantès in the West Yorkshire Playhouse’s adaptation of The Count Of Monte Christo.Persönlich hatte ich das Gefühl der Humor ging bisschen an mir vorrüber, aber unterhaltsam war es alle mal. Q. There are plenty of one-liners that are just funny but there are other parts where your wit wields a sharp point, like when you make a point about how the British viewed the people of the countries they colonized.

Sweet Sweet Revenge, Ltd. By Jonas Jonasson Book Review: Sweet Sweet Revenge, Ltd. By Jonas Jonasson

Ja mitte seepärast, et oleks hambad ristis vaevaliselt seda lugenud, vaid ikka jaopärast vastavalt võimalustele, leheke täna, teine ülehomme. This is also a homage to the art world and to the genius of Irma Sterne whose paintings are full of life with a story that stays alive and in full glory. This one involves a lazy sycophant who finagles his way to inherit an art gallery, including marrying the owner's daughter, invests in bad art, and dumps her as soon as possible. Beyond that “Star Wars” analogy, however, it’s not the Force, but the Kurt Vonnegut influence that is strong in this one. 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.I also enjoyed learning something about Irma Stern, an artist I knew nothing about but whose work I’ll definitely be checking out more after reading this book. The quote is from Stevens’s extraordinary biography of his father, Peter Stevens, who at that moment is flying over the English Channel in a bomber, heading for Berlin. Junto a su humor negro, el sarcasmo o las pequeñas críticas a la sociedad que iba intercalando en la narración. After some craziness, including the looming threat of circumcision, the son flees Africa for Sweden, where he meets the ex-wife now living in the apartment he occupied. It’s an elegant way of saying in one sentence what Great Britain did without sounding too much like a teacher.
