A Man Called Ove
by Fredrik Backman
2.5
Okay so it was moving but why is it being called funny? This book is literally about a man trying to take his life and eventually decided not too after a bunch of nosy neighbours keep om interrupting him. And the writing style really did not mesh with me. I don't know if it was the translation, but the third person omniscient made it too hard to fall into the book and the story just seemed to be told in such a weird way. I guess Fredrik Backman just isn't for me.
