Publisher's summary

The beloved author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared returns with an enchanting adventure that skewers the greed and hypocrisy that dominates our time and holds lessons about what’s truly important in life.

Meet Ole Mbatian Jr., a Maasai warrior; Kevin, his sort-of-son; Jenny, a wronged and penniless ex-wife; and Hugo, an unscrupulous Stockholm ad-man whose company specializes in revenge services.

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.

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.

Translated from the Swedish by Rachel Willson-Broyles

So good.

My favorite narrator. So many moments where I burst out laughing at the wit and flat humor of the characters thoughts.
A fab. book.

You can't beat this

Not as funny as the other three books, by the same author, I listened to in the past few weeks. But still very sweet and amusing. Peter Kenny is the cat's pajamas as well as the dog's meow. Absolutely incredible. This trio, Kenny, Jonasson, and the woman who translated the book to English [what was her name?!] continue to make my day.

Learn and laugh!

Love his books! I’ve read/listened to six. I’ll read them all! I have to leave 15 words so I hope I can get there before my dinner gets cold. Loved the book!

Another laugh-out-loud listen from Jonas Jonasson

sweet, sweet revenge ltd. serves up revenge without breaking the law. The story brings together an ad-man, a Masaai warrior, his Swedish "son", an art archivist, and an evil-doer in the way that only Jonas Jonasson can... through a convoluted set of circumstances that made me laugh at just how silly they were.
What a great listen!

Jonas Janasson does again with another great story. Keeps you smiling while listening and great weaving in coincidence into the plot.

Another fun one!

This is the third book by Jonas Jonasson that I have listened to and enjoyed. I love his characters, wry, funny commentary and so much more.

What!!??

I'm very angry I wasted a credit on this. Are these great reviews for a different book?? After reading the 100 year old man, which I gave strong 5 stars, I was sorely disappointed... by both this book and the narrator. I'm afraid this is my last by this 2.
