Last week, I was lucky enough to attend a special screening of the film adaptation of ‘The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared’ at the Soho Hotel in London ahead of its general release on Friday.

The film is likely to match the book’s success across the globe this summer having already broken box office records in Sweden when it was released last December.
