Review of 'The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
hilarious. this plays out like an extended movie / tv show that might be a farce of 'Wallander' (tv show) or Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I really enjoyed how the plot kept moving along, how attempts to shrink it (like a thug threatening a witness not to talk, or locating a great safe house) never slowed the pace of progress. and how - if the book hinted at how one loose end was going to be tied up, it quickly applied the same logic to the mirror loose-end rather than drawing that plot point into another full chapter. in that way, it was a master of confidence: respecting the intelligence of the audience and continually spinning new and exciting 'yarn'. I hear it's a movie. I'll definitely watch :)
