This was a book with so much depth and character growth.

### Possible spoilers, read with caution. ###




I had so much feelings of irritation at Ove at the beginning of the book which I understand is the point but why would Backman have to put me through his sad life story?
Ove is a man riddled by loss. In turn he takes that out on everyone around him. He reaches his breaking point when a light shines in his dark life.
The family that comes into his life are so sweet and hilarious to read about. I love the trope of a family with many children that seem hectic (and are hectic) yet are so full of love it makes you jealous.
The bond Ove created with the people around him was amazing!
The ending hurt, I expected it yet it still came and made my emotions go haywire.

Pamačius filmą galiausiai išklausiau audio knygą. Buvo smagu, kad ne daug (bent man pasirodė) kitaip nei filme. Įdomus tas Uvė ir jo gyvenimas.
