An Intellectual Laugh-out-loud Read!!
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE AUDIBLE BOOK FOR THE YEAR 2015!!
This book got me laughing and intrigued within the first 2-3 minutes! With my ribs aching from laughter, and my mind so stimulated and demanding more, I had to set aside the book as one best read in the company of my spouse! And that we did - we'd look forward to our bedtime in anticipation of listening to the book together for at least an hour every night and then the next day, we'd reminisce over the parts of the story that'd made us laugh and try to figure out where the author would take us next. And it's not just the content that's so hilarious, it's the narrator too - I actually think the narrator made this book a success and delivered it so well as to draw out the author's intended reaction from the readers.
At every junction, you're left believing things couldn't get any worse or better or funnier or more complex, but they do all the way til the very end!! The inclusion of elements of history, science and maths, might serve to keep the reader intellectually stimulated, but honestly, they all add to the hilarity and madness of the story. Just think, how is it that a black African girl from an impoverished background and living in the slums of Johannesburg in South Africa can end up saving the Swedish king? This book is an intellectually stimulating laugh-out-read that will get you questioning your history knowledge and believing in the impossible!!!

if you enjoyed the 100 year old man. ..
I really enjoyed the 100 year old man... the story and the great narration. If you did too then I think you'll enjoy this next story as much as I did. I was laughing within minutes and it continued throughout. ..
