Read by George Newbern.
"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 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" -- from publisher's web site.

I just couldn't submitted by Judeyblu on July 4, 2016, 10:42am This book has been on social media for months, but I just couldn't get into it.
Maybe will try again.

A man Called Ove submitted by Varshini on August 7, 2019, 10:10pm I really enjoyed reading and watching A Man Called Ove, but this BOCD wasn't the best in my opinion. I couldn't keep listening, and I got bored quickly.

Grew on me submitted by Marian on August 27, 2022, 10:01am Started slow, but developed wonderfully. Sweet but not saccharine (Ove would hate saccharine). The reader was very good. Didn't read the print book and didn't see the movie, but don't feel a need to do either after listening to the audiobook.
