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
To put it as simply as possible, the stories are different vignettes of Ove’s life that all come together to a cohesive end.
If you like melodrama and feel-good stories, I think you’d like this book. Personally, I’ve read both Anxious People and A Man Called Ove, and they felt like unedited, unabridged scripts of a Hallmark family film.
