Y he aquí también la demostración del papel que pueden jugar unos buenos personajes, sea cual sea el argumento. Lo digo porque el lector se encariña tanto con algunos de los que aparecen en “El abuelo que saltó por la ventana y se largó”, que me atrevo a augurar a esta novela una vida algo más larga de la que tienen la mayoría de “best sellers”.

Jonas Jonasson’s re-imagination of history and its most familiar players, seen through the recalled experiences of a comfy-slippered centenarian who runs away from a retirement home with a suitcase full of money, is over-the-top hilarious. Highly recommended.

In France the publishing house Presses de la Cité recently published a special and very nice edition, and the pocket is doing wonderful: it's on the top ten again, and it seems like it will stay there over Christmas.
