The chapters rotate between Allan (the 100 year old man who climbed out his window), the chief inspector that is following him, a couple other men who are trying to find him on both sides of the law, and then chapters that are flashbacks.
I enjoyed the stories of Allan's past lives and adventures the most. These parts are why people compare this book to Forrest Gump, but I really think it transcends. Through quirky coincidences and choices, Allan has crossed the path of many famous people and had influenced history all over the world! I thought these episodes were creative and fun to read. And really well thought out.
It took me awhile to get thorough this book, but not because it was boring. I was busy, and it is the kind of book that you can put down and come back to.
I recommend it!
