A lot of willing suspension of disbelief but still an entertaining, bittersweet story.

I totally loved this story. When I first read the reviews I thought I was taking a chance with my pick but I was happily surprised. Ove reminded me of my father in some ways, more so in their unwillingness to take things in stride or welcome change...which made me laugh throughout the book. It made me think a lot about, not taking things for granted, don't sweat the small stuff, and live every day as if its your last.
