Anyone Read "A Man Called Ove"

[Lee]

Without a doubt this is one of the most heartwarming books I have read, I laugh, I have tears in my eye, and in some ways I see myself.

The book was originally written in Swedish and then translated into English so the rest of the world could enjoy it.

Briefly, Ove wants to die, he has well thought out plans for suicide but life gets in the way and will not allow it. Life in the form of interfering neighbors, and a mongrel cat.

I am only halfway through and looking forward to the rest of Ove's story.

We saw the movie, and it left a mark on me. Well done! I think it's available on youtube to rent or buy.

I did read it and greatly enjoyed it. I read and liked other Fredrik Backman books . Britt-Marie Was Here is good.

I loved that book. The only other by Backman I truly liked was, Britt-Marie Was Here.

I like that one and also "My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She is Sorry."

I hated "Beartown."

I also liked that one.
I read Anxious People. I almost put it down without finishing. But I persevered and came to like it although it is not my favorite book of his.

I read "A Man Called Ove" and found it to be a relaxing read, very endearing, funny, and bittersweet

No, I disliked Beartown and the ones that followed. I just read his latest, Anxious People and loathed it.
