A review by knhall14
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

4.0

This book was wonderfully written and a beautiful premise. Found family is my absolute favorite. However, I took a star off for the amount of fat phobia in this book. It was so unnecessary. I know this was about a grumpy old man but it was so excessive. The movie was just as wonderful without the fat phobia so that's what I plan to stick with. I appreciate the author for giving us this story but I am nervous to read his other novels if there is the same amount of fatphobia.
