About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

An instant #1 New York Times bestseller

The funny, touching and unpredictable novel from the 15 million copy internationally bestselling author of A Man Called Ove.

In a small town in Sweden it appears to be an ordinary day. But look more closely, and you'll see a mysterious masked figure approaching a bank...

Two hours later, chaos has descended. A bungled attempted robbery has developed into a hostage situation - and the offender is refusing to communicate their demands to the police.

Within the building, fear quickly turns to irritation for the seven strangers trapped inside. If this is to be their last day on earth, shouldn't it be a bit more dramatic?

But as the minutes tick by, they begin to suspect that the criminal mastermind holding them hostage might be more in need of rescuing than they are...

When the book started i was all laughs because its absolutely funny how the authors repeats a lot of things in the beginning( without boring the readers)... as the story proceeds i didnt loose the laughs but i started relating to all the stories and how well its depicted... as the story ends i was all smiles again with drops of tears in the corner of my eyes (happy tears i guess)...
May be the story was a work of fiction but everything between the lines of the atory was true..... yes life is like a story... it should be taken in one day at a time.....
Its a simple but amazingly intricate story with great life lessons....
I would recommend it to anyone and everyone who is up for a treat....

It is a story, a story called life : Amazing story
