Staff Reviews
This book made me laugh and cry at the same time. It was a sad but lovely story and made me contemplate life as I questioned who I am and who I will become. I would recommend this to all ages. It's a very touching story, and reminds me of the Disney Pixar movie Up.

“A Man Called Ove by Swedish blogger and columnist Backman is one of those books you read and then want everyone else to read, too. It is also one of those books where you don't dare go into detail about the main character, the setting, or the plot because that would ruin the experience for others. Suffice it to say that the man whose name is Ove is a curmudgeon. He's grumpy. He's cantankerous. And he is a delight! Long may he harrumph!”
