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
I only finished ‘A Man called Ove’ purely on the basis of wanting to know what I was missing out on and why everyone loved it so much. When reading it I was like I hate this, when is this going to get good. I should have DNF’ed it.
I had read ‘Anxious People’ before and absolutely loved it so had been putting off reading ‘A Man called Ove’ because I thought the subject was going to emotionally ruin me because it hits home for me, I was left like ok everyone has hyped this up too much for me. I do think I may try watching the film, see if that added any life into the story.
