Sweet, Sweet Revenge Ltd.

A Novel

By: Jonas Jonasson

Narrated by: Peter Kenny

The beloved author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared returns with an enchanting adventure that skewers the greed and hypocrisy that dominates our time and holds lessons about what’s truly important in life.

Meet Ole Mbatian Jr., a Maasai warrior; Kevin, his sort-of-son; Jenny, a wronged and penniless ex-wife; and Hugo, an unscrupulous Stockholm ad-man whose company specializes in revenge services.

As Jenny and Kevin seek revenge against the gallery owner who has wronged them, this madcap, funny and philosophical novel takes off on a madcap journey that spans five continents and whirls around a colorful cast of characters, including a goat called Molly and the Pope.

As he’s done in his previous novels, Jonas Jonasson acts as a travel guide through time, drops in a few lessons on colonialism and art history, and pokes fun at capitalism and the artworld, with plenty of laughs along the way.

So good.

My favorite narrator. So many moments where I burst out laughing at the wit and flat humor of the characters thoughts.
A fab. book.

You can't beat this

Not as funny as the other three books, by the same author, I listened to in the past few weeks. But still very sweet and amusing. Peter Kenny is the cat's pajamas as well as the dog's meow. Absolutely incredible. This trio, Kenny, Jonasson, and the woman who translated the book to English [what was her name?!] continue to make my day.

Wonderful!

Lived up to all my expectations!! I will definitely get more books from this author!!

Classic Jonás Jonasson Humor

This was a solid book by Jonas. It was not as good as the 100 year old man book but was still good. I found Kevin’s father to be somewhat annoying though as his naivety was a bit overdone.

Another big hit from Jonas Jonasson

Provides a good fix for those of us who are craving the next Jonas Jonasson novel.

Another laugh-out-loud listen from Jonas Jonasson

sweet, sweet revenge ltd. serves up revenge without breaking the law. The story brings together an ad-man, a Masaai warrior, his Swedish "son", an art archivist, and an evil-doer in the way that only Jonas Jonasson can... through a convoluted set of circumstances that made me laugh at just how silly they were.
What a great listen!

Fun listen

Jonas Janasson does again with another great story. Keeps you smiling while listening and great weaving in coincidence into the plot.

Another fun one!

This is the third book by Jonas Jonasson that I have listened to and enjoyed. I love his characters, wry, funny commentary and so much more.

Learn and laugh!

Love his books! I’ve read/listened to six. I’ll read them all! I have to leave 15 words so I hope I can get there before my dinner gets cold. Loved the book!

Entertaining

Funny, and good story to listen to while in an airport waiting on a delayed flight for 8 hours.
