Book Review: “A Man Called Ove” by Fredrik Backman.
Ove is the quintessential grumpy old man who thinks the world is filled
with idiots and that he’s always right. If you have a grumpy old man in
your life, you may find some similarities. I know I did.
He’s the kind of man who believes rules and regulations are of utmost
importance. He spends much of his time patrolling the neighborhood
looking for people who are breaking the rules. Ove isn’t just a grumpy
old man, he is also a very sad man with a past that has heartbreak,
disappointments and tragedy.
The story shifts back and forth between present-day Ove and Ove’s
early years giving you an understanding of why he is the man he is today.
The more you learn about him the more you’ll fall in love. In between
Ove’s shouting fits there is a story with heartwarming moments and
humor. I even laughed out loud a few times. There is also a movie made
based on the book. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and I found Ove’s
story to be fantastic. — Reviewed by Crystal Bigelow
