4 stars
This book ended up being so much more than I first assumed. It actually took me a couple of tries to get into it and keep reading. The first chapters are really just Ove's complaints about basically everything. Once I did keep reading though, I really fell into this book and by the end was so committed that I was sorry it was over. Ove is definitely a bitter and unhappy man in his late fifties. What makes him that way is slowly revealed over the course of the book. What results is one man's life, the tragedy, the love, the grief, friendships, enemies, and everything one life comprises to shape a human heart. It is also about friendships and the different ways family can be formed. I really enjoyed this book once I got past the first 1/4 and now see what all of the hype surrounding this book is about. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
