My Book Review: A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman (Goodreads Author), Henning Koch (Goodreads Author) (Translator)
Not everyone is an open book. Not everyone goes around smiling all the time, like some complete idiot. Certainly, not Ove. But just like books, some of the most complicated people are the most endearing, once you get through the first 300 pages or so...the first 300 layers of gruff.
And this story, just like Ove, is worth all 337 pages. Long before the end, I was smiling, laughing, and once or twice I had to blink back a few tears. It's not like I'm some soppy, overly emotional idiot...
If you like heart warming stories, where it's the people who make life worth living and, sometimes, worth dying, what is done and not what is said that communicates, ties, and binds in love, and when the least likely person to change, not only changes themselves for the better, but others too, then get yourself a copy of, A Man Called Ove. It might cost you a few kronor, "thieves," "bandits," but as with most things in life, everything comes at a price, even A Man Called Ove, whom I guarantee, in the end, when it's all done and not said, you'll call "priceless."
