Very clever and great fun at the same time.
Jonas is analysing the political near-past very cleverly. All the world leaders, but he makes it great fun and also a page Turner.

The prophet and the idiot
I am about half way through the book but it is good, it moves about in so many directions, so entertaining. I shall be looking for notebooks by Jonas jonsson, I have already read three of his books and enjoyed them.

Stretch the imagination!
Many a giggle, chortle or good laugh! the imagine nation is coaxed into action as the scenes unfold on the page!The characters are amusingly constructed and portrayed.. the action is plausible and comic, the extent of the story, from local to bizarrely remote regions and folk is vast.A comic read, although I admit to not finishing the book, just too much to stick to when a change of topic in reading material is beckoning.

Something different
I have read three books by Jonas Jonasson. They are all funny and quirky and highly enjoyable. Recommended if you like something that’s not run of the mill.

Amusing and clever plot
Johan is Sweden's answer to Forest Gump, strolling through world politics in blind ignorance whilst feeding everyone's taste buds. I thoroughly enjoyed suspending my usual cynicism on world affairs and went along for the ride.

Really funny
It was so funny that I read it once and then started it straight after again. Really good author, smart and very funny.

Another great shaggy dog story
Jonas certainly had a gift for stories that stretch coincidences and credulity with great skill and some wacky characters! An enjoyable romp!

Decent Meandering nonsense
If you like a book that stumbles gracefully from one absurd plot line to the next, then look no further.
