I enjoyed The Extraordinary Journey of The Fakir who got Trapped in an Ikea Wardrobe by Romain Puertolas. An Indian fakir persuades his friends to pay for him to go to Ikea in Paris to purchase a bed of nails. He decides to spend the night in the Ikea store so he can pick up his bed in the morning and return to India. However, things go awry for him when he hides in a wardrobe when store staff walk towards him. From there, the fakir goes on an "extraordinary journey" and the reader goes along for the ride. This is one of those silly light-hearted stories which you can enjoy as you suspend belief. A fun read that also has a serious side. Enjoy. 31/2/5
