I liked it okay, I recognize the writer’s amazing control of the story, but…no, it didn’t grab me. NOT EVEN when I live in the winters in Sweden (moving day is day-after-tomorrow — yikes!) in a place where I have only one neighbour–because every other place in the neighbourhood is a summer house–and he lives next door, and ***he is an old man called Ove*** (but his wife is alive and well, and he has a beautiful collie dog).
I didn’t think I would like it but I found it absolutely delightful! 🙂
I loved it too!
Loved it
It’s on my TBR list!
I loved this one too! Just finished it a couple months,ago. I need to see the movie.
There’s a movie??
@Rachel yes but it’s foreign. I looked it up its only like $5. To order
I’m going to have to check that out although it’s usually just not as good as the book. Curiosity just gets me.
@Rachel me too. I’ve heard good things about it.
It’s on Amazon Prime! I can watch it for free 🙂
@Rachel that’s great!
It’s my favourite read of the year ❤️
I think it’s mine too! Totally took me by surprise how much I enjoyed it ?
I enjoyed reading that book too!
I just put that book on my list to read – someone read it recently and said it was very good.
This is on my tbr pile!
And if you can handle subtitles, the movie by the same name stays true to the book!
really? I’ll have to check it out! ?
That’s the PERFECT way to describe it.
Thanks for the review. It was on my list, but had not convinced myself to read it yet.
Thanks. I was looking for another book to start reading today. I already have this book so starting it now.

It is a delight. Amazingly effective for a translation. Books often lose some of their magic when they are translated, but this one retains its heart.
i did not know that…. read it kind of by accident actually so I don’t know much about it.
Just loved it. Haven’t cried and laughed together so much with a book in a long, long time. Really feel- good…
Same.
Me too!
Loved it.
it was a great book
