Story4.5 out of 5 stars 63,053
Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon - the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him "the bitter neighbor from hell". But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness.

Audio performance is unpleasant
Reviewed: 11-09-23
I do not recommend this in audiobook format. I disliked the audio performance. The reader’s cadence is off. He accentuates in the wrong places. His voice for females of any age all sound like he is mocking them. It’s so unpleasant that it’s difficult to listen to the story. You find yourself paying attention to how unnatural sounding the reader is.
I recommend the book over the audiobook. And in truth, I recommend the movie (the Ove version, not the Otto version) over the book.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 29
Feminine Lost explores the premise that all human beings are constructed of two energies, one masculine and one feminine. With the rise of the feminist movement, many women have migrated to their masculine side, some to the extent of losing access to their feminine side altogether. As a consequence, men have found their way to their feminine side. This process has had huge consequences for relationships between men and women, often leaving them feeling unsatisfied within their relationships or lonely without one.

Author’s self pat on the back
Reviewed: 09-08-21
I feel this book is a non-stop humble brag. I wouldn’t have purchased this if I had known a “coach” wrote it, as I know the type. Author just pats herself on the back throughout and doesn’t offer anything tangible to take away. A hard pass.
