This was still as deligtful and as easy and good read as the previous few times. I enjoyed the setting, the characters and there were some parts that genuinely made me laugh. This is probably one of my favourite Paasilinna's books and i can't wait to pick it up again in the future.

This was definitely one of my favourite books written by this author I've read so far- the story is different, I love the fact that one of the main characters comes from another one of his books, my favourite one at that- I loved all the characters in this book, especially the main two- the basic story is - a man is struggling with dementia and can remember everything from his past but cannot remember anything besides his name in the present, a taxi driver finds him in the middle of the street and since he doesn't know where he lives they go on an adventure to find out more about this man so he can safely return home- the humor is great, the story is amazing, it flows nicely and I enjoyed reading it a lot - definitely reading it again!
