    About this ebook

    Now a major motion picture A Man Called Otto starring Tom Hanks!

    #1 New York Times bestseller—more than 3 million copies sold!

    Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?

    Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations.

    Fredrik Backman’s beloved first novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. “If there was an award for ‘Most Charming Book of the Year,’ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down” (Booklist, starred review).

    Editor's Note

    Lovable curmudgeon…

    This is, unsurprisingly, the story of a small-town curmudgeon named Ove. He is a man of staunch principles, strict routines, and terrible anger. But, of course, beneath Ove’s rough and unfriendly exterior lies a story of true sorrow and loss. More than following one man’s obsession with being the worst, the book explores the comical and heartwarming relationship between Ove and his ill-fated new neighbors.

      Ove is a curmudgeon who has specific ways of doing things and dealing with people. His wife died 6 months ago. One Monday he went to work and they told him he was done, just to go home and rest. Ove is 59 years old. Frequently throughout the book people treat him as if he is 79 years old. On Tuesday Ove starts putting his affairs in order because he plans to kill himself and doesn't want the aftermath to be a bother to anyone. His plans are interrupted by his new neighbors. Every day Ove wakes up, does his morning routine, checks that everything in the neighborhood is safe and gets ready to commit suicide. Everyday he is interrupted and his help is needed by one neighbor or another. By the middle of the book it's obvious where the story is going. I loved it anyway. It made me laugh, often, and it made me cry. It was exactly the book I needed to be reading when I read it. Recommended.

      After reading BEARTOWN this summer, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. It had been on my list for quite awhile. The audio version came up on my Bridges library account and I flew through it. Since I'm not driving around as much, I listened to it while I got ready for school every morning. It's only nine hours long and once I started I found ways to listen to while washing dishes and cleaning the house. Then when I was done, I missed Ove, Parvaneh, Rune and wanted to keep hearing about Ove's day. Ove is a crotchety man who still has a lot of life to live. But sadly, he doesn't feel like he can go on any longer after his wife's death. So, he starts each day, planning to kill himself, and each day, something gets in the way of that. His new neighbors with a baby on the way and his long-time neighbors keep needing him to help them and slowly, Ove is brought out of his shell. A MAN CALLED OVE is another favorite book for me this year and I would highly recommend reading or listening to it.

      Heartwarming "curmudgeon" literature.

    • 4/5
      Never thought I could fall in love with a senior curmudgeon. Great story and worth the hype.
    • 5/5
      Its a good story that will make you laugh and maybe cry. Short chapters make it an easy read. Some nice twists along the way as well. Highly recommend.
    • 4/5
      I feel very ambivalent about this one. The writing style annoyed me- very monochromatic, with sparse language and a repetitious air: "Ove got annoyed... they won't leave him alone...people are all idiots... well maybe that one isn't a TOTAL idiot... etcOn the other hand, the story is kind of beautiful, heartbreaking, and inspiring. Ove is a 60 year old man whose wife and only reason for living has died, and who has also lost his job at the same time. He's a classic Prickly Old Man with a Heart of Gold. The book chronicles his despair and suicidality after his wife's death, and eventual recovery as his neighbors reach out to him.
    • 5/5
      “We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'.”The novel’s eponymous character Ove, is curmudgeon, a stickler for the rules who shouts at his neighbours for parking in the wrong place, at shop staff who he thinks are trying to con him and council officials who are trying to put another of his neighbours in a nursing home. Six months after his wife’s death, he’s planning to commit suicide. But he keeps getting interrupted by his newly moved in neighbours, an Iranian immigrant, Parvaneh, her husband, Patrick, and her two young daughters the youngest of whom in particular, finds Ove’s grumpiness endearing.Ove is more Carl Fredrickson out of Up than Victor Meldrew and his story is told with alternate chapters between his present and his past. As we learn his back story you realise that despite his sour demeanour he actually has a heart of gold which is revealed layer by layer as with peeling an onion and will make you cry. The present time chapters are more linear and it has to be said fairly predictable but in this case this is not a bad thing IMHO as the author keeps it simple and does not try to over-complicate matters. The whole thing is told with a certain amount of wry wit that had me in tears of laughter on more than one occasion. This novel has spread into the best seller category mainly due to word of mouth rather than some sensational advertising and in this case previous readers have got it spot on as it is a joy to read which deserves to be widely read.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this book, though it hit a little too close to home. A lonely curmudgeon muddles his way through life and his neighbors, consciously or not, bring him out of his funk. All I can say is, why is it so difficult for people to follow the rules, if a sign says not to do something, don't do it. Parking tickets are issued for a reason...but I digress.
    • 4/5
      This is the book that launched Fredrik Backman on the bestseller list. Everyone raves about this story and when a customer comes into the store and asks for the book that has an 'O' in it, then you know they want this book. Yes, this is an incredibly sweet and heartwarming story about a crabby old curmudgeon who has a prickly exterior, but a heart of gold. Did I like it? Yes .... but not as much as some of his other books. Perhaps it's because of the fame this book carries with it and the fact that I've really enjoyed some of his other books, that my expectations for this story were too high. Still, a sweet and enjoyable book.
    • 5/5
      I adored this story of a lovable curmudgeon who touches the heart of everyone he meets for better or worse. It deserves the hype. The audiobook is also fantastic for your next road trip.
    • 4/5
      Finally, an engaging current novel with an upbeat message. Mr. Fredrik Backman, please write more of these!
    • 5/5
      I have to admit I didn't actually like this book at the beginning. I thought I was going to be bored by this grumpy old man. Well shortly after getting into it I realized I was completely wrong. By the end of the book, I loved Ove and all the quirky people that surrounded him and gave his life so much meaning. I loved the way the author told the story a little at a time and followed up with the background from his earlier life that made you then understand why he acts/reacts/responds the way he does.So many emotions while reading this book. Absolutely recommended.
    • 5/5
      Absolutely loved this novel, both funny and touching. I'm now looking forward to picking up the author's newest book that was recently released.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this audiobook. This isn't the kind of book that I would have normally picked up but I saw so many wonderful reviews for it that I decided to give it a closer look. When I caught it on sale on Audible, I decided to go for it. I am so glad that I took a chance on this one because I completely fell in love with Ove over the course of this story.Ove is exactly what you think of when you try to picture a grumpy old man. He knows how things should be done and expects others to have enough sense to do them the right away. He believes that rules are there to be followed regardless of who you are. He is the man who makes rounds in his neighborhood to make sure that the rules are being enforced. There is a little more to Ove that is revealed bit by bit during the story. He isn't quite as unfeeling as he would let you believe especially once his new (and very patient) neighbors enter his life. Suddenly, it seems that everyone needs his help with things and if he wants to make sure that they are done right he has to help. I really enjoyed seeing Ove making connections with others and learning about his history. The more that you learn about Ove the more you love him. George Newbern really brought Ove to life. I really felt like I was with Ove as he was telling me his life story. I haven't listened to his narration before this book but I would definitely look for him in the future. He had such a nice voice to listen to and really was able to bring a few emotions to a character that likes to keep them hidden. I was able to listen to this book for hours at a time largely because of the narration.I would highly recommend this book to others. I think that just about everyone can think of someone in their life with a few of Ove's characteristics. Everything about this story felt very authentic. There were moments that I laughed and other moments that touched my heart. This was the first book by Fredrik Backman that I have read and will not hesitate to read his work again in the future.

      I will miss this character - I am always interested in life lessons. He has some - The contrast between what society used and what it seems to be (at least on its surface), I find quite accurate or at least I agree. There are themes in the book that you grow fond of - Who eats sausage and potatoes every day? :P However, I find his inability to deal with missing his wife deeply and uncompromisingly truthful. The point is not whether he will kill himself or not - But the fact he wants to die.. That's how much he misses her. Although 30 years minor to good ol' Ove I can relate a lot to his loyalty for things and assuming responsibility. I re-iterate I am focusing on life lessons and emotions this books is portraying. I gave 5 stars. I will miss Ove, Parvaneh, the little girls and Jimmy. :)
    • 5/5
      Wow! An amazingly beautiful book. A story of what happens when life gets interrupted and then even the interruption gets interrupted.
    • 5/5
      Enchanting. Charming. You will cry. You will get angry. You will get annoyed. You will be inspired. You will laugh. You will go through so many emotions. Loved it. A must read!
    • 5/5
      Love this book. I read it in Swedish a few years ago, and I have to say that it is equally good in English. Ove is such a character and he made me think of people in my life who just like Ove are often misunderstood by their motives behind their actions. All time favorite.
    • 5/5
      I have got to visit Sweden. It's home of some of my favorite literary characters, first Lisbeth Salander and now Ove. To the outside world Ove looks like a bitter old man. But to the love of his life Sonia, Ove is a knight in shining armor. The novel chronicles Ove and Sonia's love affair and the aftermath of her death. This novel shows that when you put good out in the world you get it back in unexpected ways. Or as Sonia would say when you give both the giver and the receiver are blessed. This was excellent story telling that kept me engrossed to the end. In the final pages the tears were rolling. You would have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by this tender book.
    • 5/5
      I haven't loved a book this much in a long time. I laughed and cried. Ove truly was a man whose heart was too large, but like many he hid it behind a gruff exterior. I think my favorite chapter was the one about the cat (no spoilers). I just felt good reading this book and highly recommend it. I can't wait to discuss it with my book club.
    • 5/5
      The first chapter might be deceiving - it's not all about an aging curmudgeon going about and making everybody miserable. Keep reading! It's much more than that. There is sensibility, humor, love, humanity of some and ugly behavior of others, and even a touch of predictability didn't bother me, it still felt right. And then there is the cat - whose expressions as interpreted by the author will make you laugh out loud... A great read.
    • 5/5
      Man Called Ove was a stunning piece of fiction where the characters literally popped off the page. The story centers around a grumpy, older man, who lives alone and finds irritation and conflict in the world around him. As the story progresses, we begin to really get to know Ove, and understand his past and the reasons behind some of his less social traits. A heart warming story that alternately made me laugh and cry
    • 4/5
      I found this to be a cleverly written (and translated) book. Although there were quite a few parts of the book where the story was more down the farce end of the spectrum, there was just enough realism to keep this reader connected. I found myself very much identifying with Ove in a way that perhaps many men would, although I am possibly more like Ove than most men would care to admit. The basic story line (grumpy antisocial old man repeatedly tries to commit suicide - and repeatedly fails - after the death of his wife) doesn't really appeal to me at all because it makes too much fun out of a very serious situation. However the author gives us enough humanity in Ove that we can't help but take his plight seriously, despite the farcical elements. This book reminded me of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry in some ways. Both have a focus on death and dying, with the chance of some sort of redemption to occur. I think that hope of redemption is a big factor in what made both these books so popular.
    • 4/5
      It took me a while to get interested in this story. I felt bogged down by all the detail, but by the end, I loved that grumpy old man Ove and his gruff way of helping people.
    • 4/5
      If it was easier to post photos here, I would have added one of my book club tonight posed around my Saab convertible (2002) that I drove for the first time today. So as usual, my review is about how the book impacted me, not a summary, as I have said many times before, other people do a much better job at that. He drives a Saab (second line of the book). That's all he ever drove. A Saab is not always my primary vehicle, but I have owned one or another for the better part of a quarter century now. He was dismayed and upset with GM's acquisition of Saab. Oh hell yes. He went to the Saab 50th anniversary convention back in '97. Oops, sorry, no that was me, LOL. Now I will have you know that I am not one dimensional, Sonja's cat was called Ernest Hemingway, my favorite author. And what about the version of Cat on the cover of the book? That Cat has two ears, an entire tail, and no bald patches. NOT the book Cat clearly, but something marketers thought would be more appealing I suppose. And more like my cat, than actual Cat. My cat is intact, and just came close to deleting this! I struggled with how high a rating I could give this...in the end, it was a great feel good book, with plenty of sadness, but not the annoying sort, more the poignant kind. But not a literary masterpiece. The strange part was our book club discussion, maybe it had something to do with it being the first spring-like day in nearly two weeks, but we talked and talked, and not so much about the book directly, but abut how it was reflected in our lives...the best kind of discussion! Love my book club gals! Looking forward to reading his other books.Update, 24 hours later....MY Saab is billowing steam in the parking lot at Lowe's. In a minor miracle, I figure out how to open the hood. It turns out that even a car idiot can identify a leaking radiator hose. So I call the hubs and he arrives with FOUR boxes of various radiator hoses. He finds one that is in the ballpark, slaps it on and I head on down the highway to home at 65 mph, with the temperature gauge steady as a rock. So yeah, I married Ove.
    • 5/5
      a beautiful, sweet, sad and savory story of a bitter older man set in Sweden. A cat and new neighbors melt him done and melt your heart in the process. Lovely, lovely story.

      Book DescriptionIn this charming debut from one of Sweden's most successful authors, a grumpy yet lovable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon and the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him the bitter neighbor from hell. But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn't walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove's mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents' association to their very foundations.A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, Fredrik Backman's novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. If there was an award for Most Charming Book of the Year,' this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down. My ReviewAll I can say about this book is that it is a very delightful and beautifully written book. It makes you laugh-out-loud but has some sad and tender moments which make you cry. I will be looking forward to reading more by this author. When you read this book, you will find that Ove will stay with you long after you've finished the book so be sure not to miss this one!
    • 3/5
      This isn't that long, but it was hard to finish. Dialogue is clearly painful for this writer; scenes are constructed to use the minimum possible, by all characters (not just the cranky old protagonist). Ove is well-sketched (what there is of him), but the characters adjacent to him are props or outlines, and the relationships between them feel uncanny and forced, in large part because the aforementioned lack of dialogue means you don't really get to see them interact except to exasperate each other. The writer has other annoying mannerisms that indicate he was writing for the screen rather than the page; it may well be that the movie adaptation proves richer and more enjoyable than the book. The cat in particular was clearly written as a Muppet and not a real cat.
    • 4/5
      Ask any of Ove's neighbors: Ove is downright unpleasant to live next to; he's the epitomy of curmudgeon. He's a self appointed one-man neighborhood watch, keeping track that none of his neighbors break the most minor of the Neighborhood Association rules as he goes through his self appointed rounds each day.He's also deeply, suicidally unhappy. And yet when a new family moves in that includes pregnant Iranian (!) wife, Parvenah, a somewhat bumbling husband, and two little girls, rules are broken regularly. Parvaneh, especially, seems out to befriend Ove, and does not hesitate to ask for his assistance with small chores.Slowly we get to see the holes in Ove's heart and the wonderful things he has done in the past and perhaps can do again.As I get older, it's lovely to have an older protagonist, especially one with an interesting story uncovered step by step.There's nothing too deep in this novel, but it is heartwarming and draws one into the its world, making it hard to put down.
