No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. 2024-02-15: I got through four chapters not liking this story about a grumpy old man very much. The last paragraph in chapter four turned on a light bulb and then chapter five made me a love a grumpy old man. I have to go back to work now but I suspect that if the author can pull that off it's going to be a really good book. 2024-02-17: I'm around 75% but I've gone ahead and given it five stars. It's that good and I trust the author not to screw it up. So good. 2024-02-17: Done. So much laughing and crying and laugh/crying. I read this for the "a book by a Scandinavian author" part of my 2018 reading challenge. This book really surprised me, I wasn't super into the first quarter/third of it, but once he meets the cat I found it really picks up. I thought it was really funny and touching, and of course I cried at the end. I love this book, I love Ove, I read the book, watched the movie and listen to the audiobook and cry every time. Ove reminded me of my grandfather in a way, seemingly grumpy old man but the heart of gold. The love he shared with his wife and his loyalty to his friends despite his weariness made this book all the more awesome to read. I also love the freaking cat that just won't leave him alone. This is a good old fashioned heartfelt book that I would never stop talking about and I would reread again. :)
Den svenske suksessbloggeren Fredrik Backman drar oss gjennom en forutsigbar fortelling som trykker på alle de rette knappene inntil vi er trygt plassert innenfor vår egen komfortsone. Livet är obegripligt, världen är läskig och det går inte att skydda sig mot den. Fredrik Backman berättar underhållande om botemedlet i sin debutroman. Genom humorns prisma belyser ”En man som heter Ove” teman som åldrande, vänskap, sorg, livslust och den föränderliga mansrollen. Boken är varken behärskad eller finputsad – delar är återvunna från Café-bloggen och har skarvats in lite slarvigt – men den är en skruvad och gripande romandebut som mycket väl kan vara början på ett stort humoristiskt författarskap. This word-of-mouth bestseller has sold more than 650,000 copies in Sweden and has been a hit across Europe. It deserves to do at least as well here. I loved A Man Called Ove so much that I started to ration how much I read to prolong my time with this cantankerous, low-key, misunderstood man. If you enjoyed Rachel Joyce’s marvellous bestseller, The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry, you will love this book. Each short chapter of A Man Called Ove could stand alone as a beautifully crafted short story. Bring the chapters together and you have the most uplifting, life-affirming and often comic tale of how kindness, love and happiness can be found in the most unlikely places Backman's tale of 59-yea-old curmudgeon, Ove, not only captured the hearts of Backman's fellow Swedes, but has also swept across Europe as a word-of-mouth best-seller; a domino effect that suggests community spirit and social responsibility isn't quite so lacking as we're often told it is....On occasion the slightly repetitive tone becomes cloying, but Backman can tickle the funny bone and tug on the heart strings when he needs to, and is a clever enough storyteller to not overindulge in either. For those of you who don't want your fiction to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, A Man Called Ove isn't for you. Yet it's surprisingly cheering to think how many people have embraced this simple but heartwarming novel.

HTML: Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon - the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him 'the bitter neighbor from hell.' But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove's mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents' association to their very foundations. .No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

If you have read Beartown or Us Against Them, do not expect the same type of book. This book is magically written in its own special way. It’s a beautiful story of love, grief, and friendship. I laughed as much as I cried. Fantastic book! ( )
