About this product

Product Information

Now a major motion picture A Man Called Otto starring Tom Hanks! #1 New York Times bestseller--more than 3 million copies sold! Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon--the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him "the bitter neighbor from hell." But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn't walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time? Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove's mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents' association to their very foundations. Fredrik Backman's beloved first novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. "If there was an award for 'Most Charming Book of the Year,' this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down" ( Booklist , starred review).

There are characters who amuse us, and stories that touch us. But this character and his story do even more: A Man Called Ove makes us think about who we are and how we want to live our lives. A Man Called Ove seems deceptively simple at the start, yet Frederik Backman packs a lifetime's worth of hilarity and heartbreak into this novel. Even the most crusty curmudgeon will love Ove!, A charming debut...You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll feel new sympathy for the curmudgeons in your life. You'll also want to move to Scandinavia, where everything's cuter., A charming debutâ€¦You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll feel new sympathy for the curmudgeons in your life. You'll also want to move to Scandinavia, where everything's cuter., This charming debut novel by Backman should find a ready audience with English-language readersâ€¦ hysterically funnyâ€¦ wry descriptions, excellent pacingâ€¦ In the contest of Most Winning Combination, it would be hard to beat grumpy Ove and his hidden,generous heart., [T]he revelations about his past are what make the story so endearing. Suffice it to say that along with the characters in the story, who come to discover that Ove is more than just the grumpy old man they first met, the reader is in for an enjoyable ride. A Man Called Ove reminds us that even the most difficult people have a back story that helps explain their current way of interacting- and perhaps, reveals the positive side of those qualities., A funny crowd-pleaser that serves up laughs to accompany a thoughtful reflection on loss and love... The author writes with winning charm., Readers seeking feel-good tales with a message will rave about the rantings of this solitary old man with a singular outlook. If there was an award for 'Most Charming Book of the Year,' this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down., One of the most moving novels I have read this year. I defy anyone to read this book and look at a quiet withdrawn person the same way ever again., A funny crowd-pleaser that serves up laughs to accompany a thoughtful reflection on loss and loveâ€¦ The author writes with winning charm., A Man Called Ove is exquisite. The lyrical language is the confetti thrown liberally throughout this celebration-of-life story, adding sparkle and color to an already spectacular party. Backman's characters feel so authentic that readers will likely find analogues living in their own neighborhoods., Readers seeking feel-good tales with a message will rave about the rantings of this solitary old man with a singular outlook. If there was an award for 'MostCharming Book of the Year,' this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down., This charming debut novel by Backman should find a ready audience with English-language readers... hysterically funny... wry descriptions, excellent pacing...

Great Book!
One of the best books I've read over the years. Actually first read this as a library book. Bought it afterwards so that I can read it again. As an aside. It was also made into a movie which is wonderful (subtitled).

Didn't live up to the hype
I don't understand all the fuss with this book. It was okay, pleasant reading but not a blockbuster. His grouchy attitude in the beginning was tiresome and the complete turnaround at the end was quite a stretch. If you are really bored and hard up for a book to read I guess this would do, but with all the hype I kept waiting for it to get better and that didn't happen. It said this was his first book and that I can believe.

A great read!
It took me about 50 pages or so to really get into this book, but once I did I couldn't put it down. It's witty, warm, and I highly recommend it...especially to book club members.
