Sweet Sweet Revenge LTD

A Novel

De: Jonas Jonasson

Narrado por: Peter Kenny

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.

Sweet Sweet Hilarious Revenge !

Loved this book and the audio reading! Laugh out loud fun throughout! Hilarious and inventive - Jonasson delivers an entertaining and pertinent farce.

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.

Another big hit from Jonas Jonasson

Provides a good fix for those of us who are craving the next Jonas Jonasson novel.

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!
