"Men are what they are because of what they do, not what they say."
This was my BOM for Reading Is Fun.
Alrighty, folks. Get in my Saab, buckle up your safety belts, and get ready for one heckuva ride.
My one word reviews for this wonderfully wonderful book are:
Wonderful (obviously)
Emotional
Beautiful
Sweet
Sad
Funny
Quotable
Amazing
Great
Realistic
A Man Called Ove (pronounced Ooh-ve, by the way), is a story about plenty of different things.
It's about friendships, new and old...
Loss...
A man and his morals ...more

Hilarious and heartbreaking story. I felt connected to Ove more than I do most characters. And it's the emotional link to a protagonist that makes me remember and love a book.
