So I started reading “A Man Called Ove” after seeing such hype about it and I’m currently at 11% of the book (chapter 5) and I’m pretty bored. If the rest of the book continues like this boring short stories of how ove is, as a person, I don’t want to continue it. After 5 chapters, I get that Ove is an “Angry at the world” type of person but stretch it so long?
Is there really anything good going to happen in the book? Or should I stop?
NB: I read books without reading synopsis because I don’t want to kill the thrill and no spoiler in the comments also please
Initially I had the exact same reading experience as you had, but I finished the book and am very happy I did: they payoff was well worth it. Without giving any spoilers: the “short stories” help you understand the main character, why he is the way he is. I REALLY don’t want to give away too much but all the background information makes the final part of the book much more satisfying.
if thats the case then I will most probably start reading it again. thank you
