This is like a strange mix of Forrest Gump and Pippi Longstocking (if Pippi were a 101-year-old man) , with a hint of the Millennium series. Not a bad read, but I found this looking for something similar to "A Man Called Ove," and imo this definitely isn't. Worth a read, but besides being about an older Swedish man, has nothing in common with it.
What fun :-) ! Not very mentally taxing, but it was an enjoyable trip through and imagine person's life. It was great the way things just HAPPENED, and when the attitude of the main character is "it'll all work out", it's amusing to find a book where that is the overall feeling! Of course, in the end, part of it is helped along by creative storytelling of the characters, but it let me with a giggle.
