A Man Called Ove

I started with hating Ove. How could this man be so bitter about everything? The more I read the more I understood, and that is not to say that I felt sorry for him. It was more that I got why he was the way he was. As much as he was a gruff man to begin with it was nice to see him show his caring side. It was interesting to imagine what he would have been like had he had children. What we knew from his father was that he was just like he was even with a child, so maybe he would have been the same but we still see how he would have cared for them by the way he treated the neighbours kids.

Edit: I loved how he had an issue with his neighbour and kept bringing up the Volvo vs. Saab debate. My dad loves his Volvo but when I told him about the book he said that he can definitely appreciate a nice older Saab!
