A review by hollyway
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

emotional funny medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

This definitely didn't blow me away like it did so many others, but it's good! Very warm and spirited, and its mass appeal is no mystery. I will say, I found Ove's wife to be a bit too saintly and the writing style got a bit too repetitive at times. Also I didn't cry - sorry!
