Product Information

Furthermore,having very recently read the second book of the 100 years old man, the introduction of Maasai, Kenya etc didn't have the effect it would had if I haven't read said book. 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.

I have always enjoyed books by Jonas Jonasson, so I was excited about reading this new work of his. Much like his other books, Sweet Sweet Revenge, Ltd is quirky but with a heart. A bunch of lovable, bumbling characters, with seemingly nothing in common, come together for a grand story.The book ends in a hurry and kind of misses the plot altogether. Trying to retain the elements that made the earlier books work, this book makes a half hearted attempt at a story. Disappointed. 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. Fue interesante y también una manera dinámica de no volver la historia lenta o tediosa. The brand-new adventure from the beloved author of The Hundred Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared. 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.

La historia nos ha enseñado que el arte moderno se parece al ave fénix: siempre renace de sus cenizas, aunque, a diferencia de ésta, se transforma en algo distinto cada vez"My first book looked at the shortcomings of the whole 20th century because my ambition was to remind people of them so we would not repeat them. That book has sold 11 million copies. And the world is not a bit of a better place. Ich habe die vorangegangenen Romane von Jonas Jonasson durchaus genossen....besonders die Absurdität und die Schrägheit der Hauptfiguren hat mir damals gefallen....

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. A comedy of errors that missed the mark for me, but still good enough to pass a few hours. Tenía muchas ganas de leer al autor, sobre todo por "El viejo que saltó por la ventana y se largó", pero por distintos motivos siempre lo posponía. Así que cuando vi este nuevo libro lo tomé como mi oportunidad. Ich suchte zwar gerade die Leichtigkeit der Geschichte und den grotesken Humor, der sich auf jeder Seite offenbart. Zugleich vermisste ich auf jeder Seite den Tiefgang. Da hilft es auch nicht, dass Alibi-Bildungskapitelchen über Kunst im Nationalsozialismus oder den Expressionismus der Irma Stern eingefügt werden. 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. Mu mustadeks päevadeks hoitud lektüür sai viimaks läbi. Ja mitte seepärast, et oleks hambad ristis vaevaliselt seda lugenud, vaid ikka jaopärast vastavalt võimalustele, leheke täna, teine ülehomme. Aga vähemalt tead, et hullumeelsel suvel on midagi, mis hoiab sind ära triivimast ja tõstab tuju. I thought this book was uproariously funny and enjoyed its laugh-out-loud moments. However, it was longer than it needed to be. An added bonus was learning about some leading artists that were unknown to me. The comedy connects some diverse characters in a surprising way. The story is set mainly in Sweden.Lachen über unzivilisierte Schwarze und ihre erste Begegnung mit Rolltreppen und moderner Medizin im Jahr 2020? Ernsthaft? Then we have the most bonkers plot (if you can call it that) and one I won’t even attempt to explain. Certainly it was fun here and there, but otherwise it’s ‘quirkiness’ very soon rubbed off and what was left was a silly, sluggish mess. 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. 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. When I heard we were getting a new Jonasson book, I was beyond excited and more than ready for another wild ride filled with his trademark witty humour, sharp social commentary and surreal situations. Unfortunately, Sweet Sweet Revenge Ltd didn’t quite deliver for me. One positive, and much appreciated addition to an otherwise absurd story, was the inclusion of art and the discussions surrounding the rise of modern art in particular. I especially enjoyed the mentions of female artist Irma Stern. Who is not nearly recognised enough (outside of South Africa at least) for her contributions to the art world!

It is certainly a comedy (loosely speaking) of errors from start to finish. Featuring the most (literally as there is FAR too many of them) eccentric and outrageous cast of characters -who I’m sorry, some opinions were utterly abhorrent, making it extremely hard to invest in them (Tw/ mild racism and homophobia) which even if this was their ‘personality’ or the writers intention, was nevertheless extremely uncomfortable to read. This is very much in the style of the 100 Year Old Man... so if you liked that, you'll probably like this too, although there's none of the 'travelling through the years' element from those books. Cattle (cows and goats), clubs (the fighting kind) and jam. Three items which often appear in this book :-P Through some wildly improbable circumstances, Jenny, Kevin, Ole and Hugo all come together to form a ragtag crew of heroes — think Leia, Luke, Yoda and Han Solo and you won’t be far off — out to take down the racist and misogynist evil empire that lay at the heart of Victor’s darkest dreams.Things take a turn after the planned revenge when they inadvertantly make their target a potential billionaire. With the Maasai witch doctor Ole joining the trio things go crazy. As a student of literature, I’d learnt many many years ago about the “willing suspension of disbelief” that enables appreciation and enjoyment of art, that is so often, a subjective expression. Ole Mbatian a Maasai medicine man and his chief, Victor an odious so far right politically he should have been named Adolf, his ex-wife Jenny, his son Kevin and artist Irma Stern. How on earth do this disparate bunch connect??? This could only be created in the fertile mind of Jonas Jonasson! Who is out for sweet sweet revenge and why??!! Sweet Sweet Revenge, Ltd. By Jonas Jonasson (translated by Rachel Willson-Broyles) is a thought-provoking comedy from this Swedish author. Mr. Jonasson is a native Swede who worked as a journalist and owned his own media company.
