I think this one of those books that will stay with me forever. From reviews from other people, it seems like this book is really a hit or miss for people. It definitely hit with me. The chracters were written so cleverly and while many of them were very bizarre at times, it served the novel well.

I don't even know if this was the full version of the book, but I'm living for the joke and will have to actually figure that out at some point. The storytelling and use of voice is so fantastic.

I picked this up randomly because my library was having an event on it. I'm not the target demographic for this book, but I did enjoy it. Definitely worth the read.

A Man Called Ove

Fredrik Backman

DID NOT FINISH: 12%

I already know where this book is going and don't really want to suffer through it all. Very predictable and Ove is just so unpleasant, I don't feel like following through an experiencing the Pollyanna/special person who changes everything/mean old man with a heart of gold trope again.

Compared to the Outsiders, it wasn't quite as good, unfortunately. Some of the character felt incomplete and overly simple.
