In this bestselling and “charming debut” (People) from one of Sweden’s most successful authors, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.
Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?
Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations.
A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand, Fredrik Backman’s novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. “If there was an award for ‘Most Charming Book of the Year,’ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down” (Booklist, starred review).

评分在读这本书的时候,我有两次坐过站,两次乘上反方向的地铁。 感激这个版本没有在后面硬加上“决定去死”。感动终于有一本人类肉翻而不是google代译的外国小说——虽然过于走年轻向而流于轻佻,比如使用“欧吉桑”这样的词。感谢巴克曼写出这么细致的人物——虽然也有OOC的情节...
评分这本书初看时我就一直觉得这个小老头太固执了,为什么就不能变通点呢,这样也就不会被人给污蔑了啊,后来一想也正是他的这种固执才是让索尼娅真正的喜欢上他吧,越看到后面就会觉得他固执的可爱,虽然嘴上一直骂骂咧咧的,但依旧还是帮助那些向他寻求帮助的人,最后他的死亡不...
评分看完这本书,过了很久我才终于提起笔来写书评。 当时看这本书时,整个人心情非常糟糕,甚至怀疑自己得了抑郁症,还早起去医院排队看病,不过最后证明并没有得抑郁症。 在非常糟糕的心境下,挑选这本书,完全是因为书名,以为是挑到一位“志同道合”、都对生活失去希望的朋友...
评分这是今年读的第三本弗雷德里克·巴克曼小说。 前两本分别是《熊镇》和《熊镇2》。这本小说很特别并不仅仅在于它在五年之内被再版了三次,也在于这一本的欧维没有「决定去死」了——当然,仅仅只是在书名上。 这三本小说,已经让巴克曼在我心中已经深深的烙上了「优质」和「高产...
今年最佳,推荐给每一个人,哭哭笑笑,真好看啊。
