The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window
Published by Betsy B. , 5 years ago
I was put off with this story by page 50-60. I only forced myself to finish the book because it was our book club choice. ( locally)
I have described the book to others & some think it sounds interesting. I thought it was to far fetched. It sets the reader up and has odd happenings. I did buy the book but it's not one I'd ever read again. Don't waste your time. Book club is tonight. It will be interesting what the other's think of this book.
Entertaining Reading

This is one man's adventure of meeting/dealing with presidents/dictators through 80 years of travel and meanwhile becoming involved with several characters who keep reappearing in his stories. Light and fun reading.
