Pros

  • Man Called Ove is great, but I think it’s especially noticeable in his lesser known books (Britt-Marie Was Here, my grandmother asked me to tell you she’s sorry, and anxious people).
  • A Man Called Ove
  • A Man Called Ove is excellent. I feel like it’s very life-affirming and satisfying by the end. You need something like this.
  • A Man Called Ove - Frederik Backman - dark at times but restores a bit of faith in humanity
  • I just commented saying A Man Called Ove is my favourite book I've read this year.

Cons

  • Ove is great but it's a lot of feelings for a plane, i'd go with Book Lovers or Funny Story for something that won't make you cry in a tiny seat
  • A man called Ove

A Man Called Ove is grumpy-old-man wholesome with surprising emotional depth that'll hit you right in the feels.
