About this deal

Normally comedies have at least a coherent structure around which the madness can orientate itself, but its plot felt completely ad hoc and cobbled together. 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. She bloomed late in the story, but it turned out so well that my German publisher put out a book about her to go along with “Sweet Sweet Revenge.” Poliitiline kallutatus muidugi lööb tugevalt sisse, aga rootslaste puhul ei saa sellest enam ammu üle ega ümber. Samas ma luban, et seda raamatut annab lugeda ka nii, et sotsid otseselt just silme ees ei virvenda.

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. 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. 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. Jonassoni tegelastegalerii ei ole kunagi kahvatu, nii ka seekord - rahvusromantikust kunstikaupmees, kes elu keerdkäikudes "saab" endale tumedanahalise poja, kelle ta ühel hetkel Aafrikasse lõvidele söödaks läkitab ja kes seepeale taevast sadanud pojana lapsendatakse ühe kohaliku ravitsejamehe poolt. Viimane reisib peagi Rootsi, otsima oma jumalast saadetud poega, kes sooritab kõik masai sõdalase katsumused, väljaarvatud see viimane ümberlõikamise teema, ja kui ravitsejamees külma talvesse saabub, siis alles hakkab juhtuma. Ja siis on veel kunstikaupmehe naine, kellest saab õige ruttu endine abikaasa ja siis üsna varsti hoopis selle sama kunstikaupmehe poja naine... Läks juba segamini? Pole viga, raamatut lugedes on kõik selge ja loogiline, kiirkokkuvõttena kõlab veidi ulmelisena jah. Olgem ausad, ega Oidipuse lugu ju ka kuigi loogiline ole. Lachen über unzivilisierte Schwarze und ihre erste Begegnung mit Rolltreppen und moderner Medizin im Jahr 2020? Ernsthaft?Cattle (cows and goats), clubs (the fighting kind) and jam. Three items which often appear in this book :-P 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. Jonas Jonasson’s books are just different. You can tell from just the title of his first novel, “The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared,” a book that has sold millions of copies worldwide. Victor Alderheim is a ruthless man who marries for money, leaves his wife penniless after divorce and leaves his son to die in Kenyan forest. When the two of them decide to take thier revenge, they decide to do it with professsional help. Enter Hugo who runs Sweet Sweet Revenge - an enterprise trying to capitalise on the promising market of revenge.

Much of it is rather far fetched, but you'll expect that if you've read the '100 Year Old Man...' books. It took me a while to get into and get a feel for the characters, but I just didn't see it as wholly original and I had hopes that this author would be much more creative than he was with this book.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. As Agneta and Kevin seek revenge against a gallery owner who has wronged them, this funny and philosophical novel takes off on a madcap journey that spans five continents and whirls around a colourful cast of characters, including a goat called Molly and the Pope. As Jenny and Kevin seek revenge against the gallery owner who has wronged them, this madcap, funny and philosophical novel takes off on a madcap journey that spans five continents and whirls around a colorful cast of characters, including a goat called Molly and the Pope. PDF / EPUB File Name: Sweet_Sweet_Revenge_Ltd__-_Jonas_Jonasson.pdf, Sweet_Sweet_Revenge_Ltd__-_Jonas_Jonasson.epub Jonasson's writing is irreverent everytime: to him, there is nothing sacrosanct. So the plot line is a mad caper that leaves you laughing but realizing just what is being flagged around the madness. The character sketches, including the most minor ones in the plot and how they relate to one another bring out in the best possible way how cultures clash but can also connect people. Amidst the hilarious tone from the scenes that unravel you will end up thinking about what is it that drives people to make judgements about others different from you.

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 artworld, with plenty of laughs along the way. Lo que más destaco es la pluma del autor, me gustaba mucho su forma de narrar pues la mayor gracia de la historia estaba ahí. Junto a su humor negro, el sarcasmo o las pequeñas críticas a la sociedad que iba intercalando en la narración. Además, era su forma de escribir lo que volvía el absurdo de las situaciones en algo coherente dentro de su propia historia. No tengo problema con las situaciones ridículas o casi imposibles mientras estas tengan sentido dentro de la misma lógica del libro y aquí desde el principio se da a entender que son posibles.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" Jonas Jonasson certainly seem to take pleasure in writing farces, comedy of errors that happen to somehow work out. Kevin and Jenny get their revenge on the cynical, opportunist Victor – who has no redeeming character at all. I enjoyed the fact that the young couple was assisted by the owner of Sweet Sweet Revenge, Ltd. A man who, like Victor, has little redeeming qualities except that his not a fascist. 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. Juanita erklärte bereits in der ersten Minute der ersten Kursstunde, dass alles den Bach runterginge. Ihre Argumentation ginge von diesem Adolf aus; sie meinte, was damals in Deutschland geschehen sei, habe nichts mit Deutschen zu tun, sondern würde wieder passieren, dann aber woanders seine Anfang nehmen... A pleasant and poignant book, through its comical story line it touches and satirises many important themes. The plot is of course based on impossibilities, coincidences and farsical misunderstandings and doesn't stand any serious scrutinity. I liked the story and the humor but I felt that often the pace is uneven.
