This man reminds me SO MUCH of my grandpa.
He really dislikes his neighbors and complains about their loud lawn mower constantly. He refuses to get a cell phone. Every year he emails my mom on June 6th to remind her she snuck out of the house in 1984. He only drives a stick shift. He is very much stuck in his ways, just like Ove. But this story reminded me that he has so much love for everyone, even if he doesn’t want to show it!
Before I started college, he took the time to research the best computer and bought it for me. He cooks elaborate meals for 20+ people every holiday. He started a scholarship fund for underserved college students.
He would hate to know this review is basically about him, but I loved this book so much!!

Beautiful, so amazingly beautiful. I couldn't watch the movie more than halfway through. They have butchered this lovely novel.

Qué lectura para bonita! Tenemos a Ove, un hombre viudo mayor de 60 años bastante cascarrabias, algo inflexible cuando de mantener rutinas se trata, solitario, terco y quien además se pone la vida en cumplir y hacer cumplir las reglas del vecindario, pero con todo, su corazón es tan grande que terminarás adorándolo.
Una historia de vida sencilla y humana. Llena de humor y sabiduría con la que fácilmente empatizas y puedes reconocer cercana. Una historia de amor y amistad, de familia, de generosidad, de sociedad.
Un protagonista que te robará el corazón y que crece por los personajes secundarios que lo acompañan y con quienes crea lazos. Me ha encantado el humor inteligente, la crítica sutil al sistema, los mensajes subliminales, las situaciones jocosas y sobre todo las enseñanzas de vida que sin querer serlo te conmueven, te sacuden y cambian tu perspectiva.
Cuenta con dos adaptaciones a la pantalla. Sin saber que existía el libro, vi la de Tom Hanks durante un vuelo. Termine el viaje con sonrisa. Linda peli, excelente libro. Lo recomiendo mucho!

Listened to the audio book, this was a happy/sad book but I loved it! Protect Ove at all costs
