Participant@nancybethelThis is the book that turned me on to Fredrik Bachman. Funny, and so much heart. Are there other books by FB you enjoyed?

Participant@jennyI liked Britt Marie was here. I think I liked it better than Ove.

Participant@tswinn72Just finished the book, while this is not in my normal genre I had read many good reviews on this one. I didn’t love it. It was hard for me to get into. The ending was very heartwarming.

Participant@susanaHe has a different style of writing, like everything in life, it might not be for everyone, but I would give another of his novels another chance.

Participant@april290I read Beartown as my first introduction to FB. I have since read A Man Called Ove, Us Against You, and My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry. I have Winners and Anxious People currently on my TBR shelf. I think My Grandmother Asked Me . . . is my favorite so far, though.

Participant@doloresOve was also my introduction to Backman, early last year. Like other readers, I enjoyed it, and I also loved Britt-Marie Was Here. I’m looking forward to the Beartown series and Anxious People as well.

Participant@ginia552Anxious People was my first Fredrik Backman book. I did enjoy A Man Called Ove. I liked the way Ove changed through his interaction with all the other characters in the book.

Participant@susanaAll of them, but the characters in Beartown trilogy have stayed with me.

Participant@pcarrollI love everything I’ve read by this writer. I’ve read all of his books except the last one in the Beartown series. They all take the reader on an emotional rid, with laughter and tears and frustration and compassion. I think he is the most human writer at work right now. I’d love to have a beer or a cup of tea with him!
