I thought it was ok. Entertaining, but Ove and Beartown set a high bar for me

There is also a Swedish version on Amazon prime that’s really good. If you love the book, it’s worth watching as

For some reason I didn't like that book. Couldn't finish it and I love reading.

Try the audiobook, the narrator is awesome and had our whole family (even when they were little) just laughing.
