Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All

Product Information

Having enjoyed another book the same author much more, I will be open to reading at least one more of his books to see if I might enjoy it more than this one. Johanna Kjellander, temporarily resident in room eight, is a priest without a vocation, and, as of last week, without a parish. is a briskly-paced, occasionally bizarre, often hilarious story, with unusually intelligent, though morally questionable protagonists, somewhat less intelligent, bungling antagonists, death, mayhem, oblivious authorities, lashings of karma, and an oddly recurring theme of a briefcase (or two) full of cash. I am giving this book 4 stars because I really needed a hilarious read to save me from a potential reading slump!

I thought it was an inventive piece of fiction that had some nice moments of comedy and an affectionate warmth running through it. My wish for them to stop it without being punished too much was almost satisfied, though I still felt there was something missing. I was really looking forward to this book since I absolutely loved The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, but this one was just meh.

If you get the chance, even if you get a copy from the library, I do recommend The 100 Year Old Man.

I read The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared a few years ago – in Spanish I might add.
