About this listen
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 harbouring a suitcase full of contraband uranium, on a nuclear weapons mission for Kim Jong-un …
Soon Allan and Julius are at the centre of a complex diplomatic crisis involving world figures from the Swedish foreign minister to Angela Merkel and President Trump. Things are about to get very complicated …
Praise for The Hundred-Year-Old Man:
‘A mordantly funny and loopily freewheeling debut novel about ageing disgracefully’ Sunday Times
‘Imaginative, laugh-out-loud . . . a brilliant satire on the foibles of mankind’ Daily Telegraph
‘Fast-moving and relentlessly sunny’ Guardian

Good, but not as good
I really enjoy the antics in this book but a feel like the original had more excitement. Worth a listen if you enjoyed the original!

Another good yarn...
Just as much fun as the first. Not a literary masterpiece... but not meant to be. Similar, familiar tales. Would recommend.

Hilarious and Topical
I loved the narrator. Great voices and easy to listen to. The story gave a great explanation as to why the political world is as it is. Hilarious or scary? I love the way Allan gets out of trouble and things always line up for him.

A great book while travelling
Thoroughly enjoyed the humorous style of writing and excellent performance which I am sure the author would have been delighted.

Difficult to understand
The narrator adopts accents that are distracting and make the story difficult to understand. The story seems okay but I can't follow the plot due to the poor narration.

Dull - couldn't finish it.
I wasn't able to get into it. It's dull, and lacks the charm of the first book.

Mistake
Should have let our old mate die. Disappointing follow up. But do like this author’s humour.
