What Members Thought
A man called Ove sneaks into the cracks and crannies of your heart and soul, and settles down there belligerently while he reminds you that you can’t park your car there, or you’re an idiot- and you know it’s just his way of showing his love, just don’t tell him that’s what you think! He’s every curmudgeon you’ve ever met in movies or books, rolled into one reluctant hero- and what a hero he is! A treasure of a novel!
Funny and heartbreaking, without ever getting too sappy. Ove is the grumpy old fart you love to hate. Full of flawed characters living in a run-of-the-mill Scandinavian small town. I shed a few tears, I laughed a lot, I liked this much more than Bear Town.
A good story about how kindness can change lives. Ove thinks he's a crotchety old bugger, but with some hard-headed kindness and getting involved with helping others, he realizes that there is something to live for.
