This book is not a terrible book in terms of bad content. But there is continuous mention of possibly sensitive content to the extent of wanting the reader to learn from these things. Likeeggfartz's review against another edition

The relationships in this novel was truly the best part for me. I loved reading about Ove's newfound relationship with his neighbors, and slowly seeing the ones he had in the past. He is very much a grumpy old man where despite how much he tries to fight them, a friendship and community can't help but form between him and his neighbors. It's hilarious seeing him try to beef with children, but the way they bonded with each other tugged on my heart.
