It broke the scale cause this is an actual masterpiece. Love the author's writing. Love the story.
Ove is a grumpy old man and honestly, neither I disagree with this kind of behaviour nor I can actually tolerate it in real life but he's an old man. But knowing he's just grumpy, not mean so I really think I can survive with him. I think of him as my grandfather. Though, I never get to meet them actually. Both my mother's and father's. Reading his story broke my heart. His love for Sonja is unconditionally just makes me loves him more. He feels irritating when someone interfering in his life but as time passes, he just let it be cause he'd think of how Sonja would actually acts in those particular situation if she was there with him. To think that he gets along with everyone he had interaction with in the past makes me cried ever harder. I loved, just loved this old man so much. I'd really like him to become my grandfather. Is it bad to say that I really longed for a grandfather? I wanted to be loved by an actual father figure. I think GRANDFATHER ACTS MORE LIKE FATHER FIGURE TO HIS GRANDDAUGHTER than an actual father. Well, this is my opinion.
I dont like that he's dead. I mean of course that's what he's been waiting for. To die peacefully so that he can finally be with the love of his life, Sonja. The last two chapters, ch38 and ch39 deserved to be tattooed in my heart. If I someday get this book physically, there would be so many things to quotes and to be tab with sticky pad.
I'll for sure get this book at the nearest store or get online, less pricey.
