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!
