The Accidental Further Adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man by Jonas JonassonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
What's next for Allan Karlsson? Turns out this centenarian has a few more adventures in store . . .
It all begins with a hot air balloon trip and three bottles of champagne. Allan and Julius are ready for some spectacular views, but they’re not expecting to land in the sea and be rescued by a North Korean ship, and they could never have imagined that the captain of the ship would be harboring a suitcase full of contraband uranium, on a nuclear weapons mission for Kim Jong-un. Yikes!
Soon Allan and Julius are at the center of a complex diplomatic crisis involving world figures from the Swedish foreign minister to Angela Merkel and President Trump. Needless to say, things are about to get very, very complicated.
Another hilarious, witty, and entertaining novel from bestselling author Jonas Jonasson that will have readers howling out-loud at the escapades and misfortunes of its beloved hundred-year-old hero Allan Karlsson and his irresistible sidekick Julius.
I really enjoyed the first adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man and this sequel didn't disappoint. It's very topical concerning world affairs. Totally implausible but entertaining none the less.

I was not aware that there was a follow up to the 100 Year Old Man... I will definitely have to look into this! I loved the first one.
