I had to put down the english copy I started reading because it became apparent in the first few paragraphs that this book was poorly translated. Swedish colloquialism shone through and it was frustrating. In Swedish the book is well written with a lot of charm, I didn't get that sense from the English version. Quite the entertaining book and if you're not careful you may pick up quite a bit of history.

Although this book describes the last adventure of Allan, he sure had a lot of them in his time. I very much enjoyed the characters and their development.
