Sweet Sweet Revenge Ltd.: The latest hilarious feel-good fiction from the internationally bestselling Jonas Jonasson and the most fun you’ll have in 2021

Product Information

I enjoyed this book, an easy read, funny, and in these trying times, a sort of escapism we all need. Certainly it was fun here and there, but otherwise it’s ‘quirkiness’ very soon rubbed off and what was left was a silly, sluggish mess.

Jonasson touches upon the capitalist intent of the art world and the people who run art galleries but there is also a humane look at how artists create and then make a legacy that remains long after they have gone. The entire first half of the book moved way too slowly as we got a detailed backstory for every character. 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. Then there’s Kevin, a Swedish-born, Maasai warrior who can stare down a lion, hunt with spear, bow and arrow, and swim across a river full of crocodiles without being eaten.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.

Sweet Sweet Revenge, Ltd. By Jonas Jonasson Book Review: Sweet Sweet Revenge, Ltd. By Jonas Jonasson

One positive, and much appreciated addition to an otherwise absurd story, was the inclusion of art and the discussions surrounding the rise of modern art in particular. Ja siis on veel kunstikaupmehe naine, kellest saab õige ruttu endine abikaasa ja siis üsna varsti hoopis selle sama kunstikaupmehe poja naine. 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. The introvert computer genius Lisbeth Salander is maltreated by authorities and men in power in a dystopian Sweden.The quote is from Stevens’s extraordinary biography of his father, Peter Stevens, who at that moment is flying over the English Channel in a bomber, heading for Berlin.
