What a strange book! It made me laugh out loud and broke my heart repeatedly! How can such a disagreeable, grumpy old man be this much agreeable and caring?Great book!In some parts I got a little bored,and for personal reasons, I didn't like some parts of the book. I'm going to check out Fredrik Backman's other books as well.
Unique and satisfying book in which the main character works his way into your heart. Enjoyed it!
I'm not crying, I just got dust in my eyes okay T_T)Fuck, this book was amazing. So well written with fantastic characters. I didn't expect this book to have so many funny moments, to have so many moments that made me smile so wide it hurt.This is the best found family book I have ever read and this book has taken its place among my favorites. I fucking hate how it ended because it hurts but I know it had to be that way. I figured it was coming, I just hoped it wouldn't. Even so, this book is still amazing.This is one of those book that fucking hurts deep in the soul, but it hurts so good.
Ove is like Mr. Fredrickson on steroids and somehow that makes him twice as lovable.
stunning writing, incredible characters, hated the suicide plotline tho
A man called Ove is a book that wins everyone's hearts. What is special about this story is that there’s not really character growth. What happens is that at the beginning of the book we meet Ove that is an old man that is grumpy and angry all the time, and as the book progress we start to understand Ove, and even though he has not changed, you as a reader have changed and everyone that meets Ove start understands him too. The writing was a little simple and at first, I was not a big fan but I really like it at the end because you don’t even notice when you start appreciating the characters. Im going to read more about the author.
Some books you read because someone recommended you or you read because you always wanted to read the book. But sometimes you read the book because you liked its name or synopsis or most of the time its cover. I know most people say don't read the book only because you like its cover, but thank god I bought this book. In some way this book ended my reading slum, for quite sometimes I wasn't able to pick a book and read it. But when I pick this book, then and there my reading slum ended. I only had one book on my favorite list and now it increased to two. I read some reviews people are saying "Ohh this book is so funny, so charming, so sad at the same time blah, blah, blah" but for me this book was comforting. People have one book which is comfortable for them to read at any time, for me this is that book. I mean its humor is so pure that you always throughout the book will have a grin face, even when there is something sad this book will not shy away to make you laugh at the situation. Here author is not trying to make you laugh by jokes or anything but the situation itself makes you laugh. I always laughs at the Patrick'The Lanky One's situation, he is my favorite character in this book.Alright now let's talk about the sad part. I am the type of person who does not cry while watching movies or while reading books. But this book will break your heart. You know what is going to happen next but still you will not be able to control yourself from being sad and your eyes will fill with tears. The romantic angle between Ove and Sonja is so genuine and real, it really melts your heart. When this line came up "Maybe neither of them forgave themselves for not being able to give the women they loved more than anything what they wanted more than anything" I stopped took a moment or few, lift my finger up slide it through my eyes and wipe my tears off.This book neither tries to force you to laugh or cry. But this emotion automatically affects you. Because the author "Fredrik Backman" has done such a good job that from the very beginning he makes you connects with the character 'Ove' so whatever Ove is feeling you are feeling with him. There are so many character that you attach yourself with Parvaneh, Anita, Jimmy and many more but i not going to spoil your experience by telling you about these character. I want you to experience these feelings yourself that's why I didn't talk much about the content of the book or about the character. This book is not about that, its about the journey you go through, the emotions you go through with Ove.
Four years later and I'm still crying._______________________________I'll write a review when I can think about this book without bursting into tears.
