I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

A Man Called OveA Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was recommended to me by Emily. She may have read this for her book club.
Near the beginning this book has a scene that reminds me of the Bill Murray movie, St. Vincent;but, Ove and Vincent are not the same curmudgeon. I like the author's style as Backman tells an anecdote in a chapter that gives depth to the characters and Backman continues to build these layers into a narrative that holds the readers' attention.
I recommend this to all readers.
