[Kena Bolin]

A Man Called Ove was a quick easy read. Several funny parts and you can actually image the events happening.
My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry was also good. Showing the ways we don’t always know the person we think we are closest to, especially when you’re 7.
Britt-Marie Was Here was slower than the other two, but after knowing things about Britt-Marie from My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry, it was hard to put down until you knew what happened.
I wanted to read A Man Called Ove due to the movie and found a great new author to put with my reading collection. Fredrick Backman is a wonderful author and I can’t wait to read the rest of his books.

I just love Backman's work. There is something so human and real in the stories that I just connect with.

Читая эту книгу, я поняла что порядок чтения предполагает сначала прочтение этой книги, а потом уже "Здесь была Бритт-Мари", но это не испортило впечатления, а лишь дополнило контекст. Эта книга наверное была самой специфичной из всех книг Бакмана, что я пока читала, но как всегда я читая ее много плакала и задумывалась о том, как правильно было бы поступать для героев. Но как Бакман зачастую любит показывать, правильного выбора иногда нет, есть лишь тот выбор, который мы уже сделали, и это наша ответственность - жить с этим выбором и make the most of it.

A Man Called Ove is a slow paced yet deeply emotional film about love, loyalty, and kindness toward those around us. The work not only portrays a beautiful but unfinished love story between Ove and his late wife, but also serves as proof that kindness, no matter how small, can heal and ease the pain of life’s losses.

Ove is a man who appears gruff, rigid, even old fashioned. At first, he may seem hard to approach. But the more you get to know him, the more you realize that beneath that prickly exterior is a heart struggling to endure after deep emotional wounds. He loves in his own quiet, sincere way, and that is what makes him special.

The book is a gentle reminder not to hesitate to give love, for life is already harsh enough, and love and kindness are what make it worth living. A Man Called Ove is a story in which both adults and children can find something meaningful for themselves, a bit of empathy, a smile, or simply a warm feeling in the heart.

One of the obvious themes of this book is often stated "every human being needs to know what they're fighting / striving for". The question the book begs - do you know what you're fighting for? When everything is swept away, what is your foundation? Backman draws these answers out in a compelling way.

Also I loved this:
"All people at root are time optimists. We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'."

This book is terrible. I can't get through the awful writing. I'm on page 13 and I don't think I want to waste anymore time. The author tells everything and shows nothing - that's writing 101.

Here's only a few examples:

Example (page 7): "The assistant, a young man with a single digit body mass index, looks I'll at ease."
Example (page 8): "The assistant nods confusedly."
Example (page 9): "The assistant nods pedagogically."

Waste of money.

I’ve read this twice and cried buckets both times. The overwhelming grief throughout the book was intense for me. Loved the friendships and relationships that develop w the story.
My mom was a bit like the grandma in terms of doing her own thing and being wild. Wish she lived longer to be the grandmother she was to Elsa. (And I wish I had a grandma like Elsa’s grandma).

(конкретно про бабушку, не про сборник)
очень-очень добри! про дружбу маленькой и больших, про ошибки мам и бабушек, про принятие смерти, про добрую собаку и добряка с птср, про очень собранную маму и неуверенного папу

I like the fact that this is light hearted book. Bad news are delivered in subtle way. I liked ove and his theories too.

[Little Wing · Rating 5 out of 5]

Broke me fr fr. Also I started annotating and this was the first book. There is just so much in it and it is written in sucha distant style that it makes you closer. It works, surprisingly.

I loved all three books

[Amanda Rae Kolo · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think the author does a great job of giving details- you can see the whole picture in your mind like a moving playing. I love the humor and also the heart-full feelings of the stories.

[Sherry Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a fun book to listen to. Ove is pronounced Ova. He's rather a curmudgeon rascal but yet heartfelt.
