I haven’t been brought to tears reading a book like that in a long time. Such a well written story and so relatable. I think we’ve all come across an Ove in our lives, and it’s a reminder that a little bit of a love goes a long way.

Amazing book with all the feels, made me laugh out loud a lot. Never thought "Ove" would be my spirit animal, i'm now suffering from a book hangover

I když vnímám, že jsou si Backmanovy knihy podobné stylem psaní nebo tématy, ve výsledku mi to vůbec nevadí. Jeho příběhy se mě vždy tak dotknou, že jim nemůžu dát nízké hodnocení. <3

I still cannot believe how impactful is Backman's writing. When I finished the book, I was happy that I stopped with the crying already.
Ove is a spectacular man and I am so glad that I have met him so many times through life. Now I can just understand him better. I also noticed that there is a movie based on the book, can't wait to see it!

I picked this up as a recent fan of Backman. I didn’t realize until farther in this book than I’d like to admit that it was the book behind a Man Called Otto. Great story.

A simple easy read of a story about a cranky old man and his neighbors. Cute and good for a fluff book.
