1. Jason Jonas
2. Jonas Jonasson
3. Jonas Johnson
4. Jon Jonas
5. 
   

ANSWERb

Jonas Jonasson

Jonas Jonasson was shortlisted by the National Book Awards for the International Author of the Year Award on June 11, 2014. Jonasson lived outside of the United Kingdom, which is one of the criteria for the book award. Jonasson released a high profile, high selling novel which is considered a literature and commercial success. The novel, which allowed him the spot on the shortlist, was entitled The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden. It appeared that hee had suddenly become successful, an unreal feeling for him.

Question #2

What was the rating of the 2013 review of The 100- Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared?

1. 9 out of 10
2. 8 out of 10
3. 3 out of 10
4. 1 out of 10
5. 
   

ANSWER a

9 out of 10

Jonas Jonasson wrote The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared in 2013, which was rated a nine out of ten by Novelicious. Novelicious found this book to be rare because it did not urge the reader to stay up all night to read the novel in completion; it was not suspenseful. This book, however, was lovable and enjoyable as it allowed the reader to savor the text on every page. The book was not overly complicated and thus allowed the reader to seamlessly read the stories effortlessly. Readers could come back to the story with ease because the stories within the book seemed more like short stories, rather than one long novel.

Question #3

How many total sales did the book reach?

1. 1.25 million
2. 1 million
3. 500,000
4. 700,000
5. 
   

ANSWER a

1.25 million

The novel, authored by Jonas Jonasson, reached 550,000 sales in the UK and 700,000 e-books worldwide, totaling 1,250,000 in sales. However, this was not an impressive feat for Jonas Jonasson. He was far more concerned about Hesperus paid royalties to him. Hesperus is Jonas Jonassons UK publishing company which he found great difficulty in contacting regarding his royalties. He is owed a large sum of money for these royalties, which his lawyers are taking care of. In the process of receiving his back pay, Jonas Jonasson has lost understanding of what has happened in the legal proceedings.

Question #4

How old was Jonasson when he wrote his first novel?

ANSWER d

The Observer interviewed Jonas Jonasson about his sudden success and inquired as to how he felt about this prestigious milestone. Jonasson feels that this success is unreal, but his personal experiences do not allow such success to go to his head. With personal experiences, like his divorce, he was able to stay grounded while his fame is increasing. He also feels mature at this point because he took a chance to write his first novel at the age of 47. While experiencing the stresses of divorce, he was also in a legal battle with his publishing company, Hesperus Press.

Question #5

What other personal issues was Jonasson dealing with during the release of his book, which prevented him from fully enjoying his success?

1. Divorce
2. Legal Issues with his Publisher
3. Custody Battle
4. Patent Rights
5. 
   

ANSWER c

Custody Battle

The Telegraph discussed Jonassons required research in order to write his novel, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. Jonasson said he found no difficulty in writing the book because of his love for history. However, there are some aspects he did not discuss, like Adolf Hitler, because of the nature of his book. His book was more of a satire instead of a historical piece solely. During the time of his book release, he was fighting for the custody of his son, and therefore was unable to enjoy its success.
