Barbara is reading A Man Called Ove
I loved this book more than I've loved any book in a while. It made me laugh out loud, and I cried a few times, too, especially at the end. In some ways it reminds me of the movie Gran Torino. In other ways it reminded me of the movie Lars and the Real Girl. It reminded me how beautiful humanity can be when we open ourselves to love and compassion. That's something I needed to remember in 2017.

Goodreads won't let me undo my accidental rating of this book, but I haven't finished it yet. Anyway, it's better than one star but not five stars. I'll get more precise when I'm done with it.

Barbara is on page 24 of 531 of Allegiant (Divergent, #3)
Trying to force myself to finish the series since a small part of me wants to know now it ends and I bought all three books before I figured out that they are pretty hackneyed derivatives of the far superior Hunger Games series. Not sure I'll make it. There are so many other worthwhile books in the world.
