Do not rely too much under goes everywhere. Ove is not really old or grumpy, and if he is suicidal, the grains of sand to lead his attempt "out" will multiply. On Ove at the beginning of the novel, we not know much, it remains on the surface of the character. In the narrative process and numerous inclusions, we discover an endearing character, brave, quite conservative, reluctant to jump on the first comer technical gadget. A kind of Alceste, lost in the world, only one person has understood and accepted as it was, with his cantankerous character. Ove wants to finish, it has its reasons that reason knows nothing (did not want to leave this world with excess reason, it seems to me ..). But he knows that you can not pack up like that, and that life is not over because we have decided to end. A peeled cat starts lapping, to settle (a person to whom the adventure arrived understood that a cat does not come home, and not elsewhere, for no reason). Then a young woman intelligent and full of life, men just stupid ... a young gay .... which will place between Ove and rope to the ceiling or 20g of paracetamol carefully prepared. The situations are funny, except for Ove. Throughout the novel, Ove remain himself, barely tamed (domestic is not a lion). Quietly, Ove be revealed in his humanity, without calculation, for nothing. And without Prozac
