A Man Called Ove

“A Man Called Ove” by Fredrik Backman had me cracking up out loud or caused my vision to blur from water in my eyes. This was such a good read. A friend of my suggested I read this book about a Swede and his antics. Then she said to watch the Swedish movie “A Man Called Ove”, before seeing the American version “A Man Called Otto.” Now that I am finished with the book and I am ready to dive into the two movies. From what I have heard both movies are excellent.
