The hundred year old man who climbed out of the window and disappeared is a hilarious adventure story when a centenarian abandons his old folk’s home, on his hundredth birthday, in search of adventure. Along his explosive journey he meets, murders and steals from lots of people. Allan Karlsson (the centenarian) tells the story of his life, jumping from past to present each chapter. There is a range of great characters with a variety of unique personalities. He travels the world living through multiple wars and meeting several historical figures. Overall I would recommend this to anybody who needs a book with advanced vocabulary but still wants a story that is action packed and comical.
