A Man Called Ove

Definitely read the book Tegan... there is so much that Ove thinks, not sure how they can make that work in film.The power of words. Think I will re-read the book now.

Try 'Britt Marie' was here by the same author.

Oh, the cat is gorgeous; a sort of long haired Birman type. I'm glad I hadn't read the book because I had absolutely no idea what was going to happen at any stage of the story. I always feel that a good film is one that stays with you for a long time after seeing it, and I was still thinking about it when I woke up today, and I feel all sad and happy at the same time. On the subject of cats, I saw A Street Cat named Bob on dvd the other week as well and was determined not to like it but the whole family were charmed by it. I wish I'd realised that Bob actually played himself for much of the film; what a cat!!I do actually want to read A Man called Ove now; may not read the whole book but would like to see how the film compares.

I loved the book too, but don't think I would like to see the film.I feel this way about many books, so not a criticism of any film.Guess I am more a book person than a film one ( and would hate to be disappointed.)
Who plays the cat?

Thanks for the heads up, Tegan - I loved the book. (And agree about Lion)

I love the book so much that I sort of wouldn't want to see a film version. Glad you enjoyed it though.

I haven't seen it but have read the book.
