The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson

This book  is about a 100-year-old man who decides he has had enough of the old peoples’ home he has been living in for many years, so he climbs out of the window and slowly shuffles to the bus station. There, a criminal asks him to keep an eye on his large suitcase whilst he uses the toilets. The 100-year-old man, Allan, decides to take the suitcase on board with him when he steps on the bus. When the criminal returns from the toilets, he finds that both the old man and the suitcase have gone.

The story leads on to criminals hunting down Allan and the suitcase containing something very precious to them. But it is not only the owners of the suitcase who hunt down Allan, but also the police, reporters, journalists and more.

I enjoyed this story very much, and I recommend it to any reader who enjoys an adventure/comedy story.
