"A Man Called Uwe" ~ Fredrick Backman

I am really sorry I didn't read this book earlier. It makes you smile, laugh and cry, and that is something which rarely happens to me with a book. It makes you feel as if you already know some of the characters in real life, so natural everything feels. The only reason I took one star is that at some point the book looks like one of those Sunday afternoon movies you watch just to kill the time. One of those unpretentious comedies about a grumpy old man who actually turns to be not so bad and thanks to the always happy and good-nature friends/ neighbours he has, we manage to see his soft side. Well, probably just life makes us sometimes a little more bitter,stubborn and angry (paraphrasing Mr. Backman).
