A Man Called Ove

About ME:
I literally will read anything as long as it entertains me. Not a big fan of extreme horror novels. I just get too weirded and icked out, but not a "thats so gross it's fucking awesome!" but an "oh my god I actually feel ill, what kinda messed up head makes up this stuff" grossed out. Wish I could remove a particular chapter I once read involving worms and masturbation from my mind.
I am obsessed with lists.
I love to travel but with a mortgage, two kids, dog, cat and bunny it doesnt happen all that much anymore.
Most of my five stars come from apocalyptic/post apocalyptic, fantasy and horror books.
I like to read with challenges I set myself and am currently working my way through a tag list of different subjects (I embrace my geek).
I like wine very much particularly while reading.
I grew up near Hobbiton and Mt Doom. I have a lot of hobbit friends and know a lot of orcs.
My husband says I cannot have any more animals, I nod my head "yes okay" and then ignore him.

Well that was bloody delightful!!

Everyone knows someone a bit like Ove that instantly dislikable grumpy fuck who somehow edges into your life and you come to realise is just a big ol' softy inside.

This book was a bit like Ove, I read a few chapters here and there. Ove irritated and frustrated me. The writing was spectacular and it was funny, actually laugh out loud funny, but I dont usually read a lot of contemporary as I am more a fantasy and horror nerd fan. But I kept at it and slowly but surely I started to get warm fuzzies, ... and then I cried ... and then I reflected and then I realised I goddamn love this little gem of a book and that big cuddly bear of a man Ove.

This will be going on a re-read someday shelf.
