The grump is 80 and very set in his ways. This leads to a book full of quirky habits, funny anecdotes and clashes with his family.
It's translated from Finnish so there are a few "local" references that go a bit over the head of a reader from another country but these are few and far between.
As a reader it was far more interesting to look at the grump's character and recognise things that I might well do myself in years to come.
The writing in ‘Happy Days of the Grump’ was definitely a little different. And it took some getting used too! But after a little while I started to appreciate, being inside the Grumps head. It was different, but good.
Overall this book was a fun read, but I did miss a little more depth into the character. But it was definitely an enjoyable read.
