I loved this book!
Published by SuzyMac , 5 months ago
Read this if you enjoy what I like to call "real life" fiction. The multiple POV really allows you to open perspective on the town itself, and it's residents. Or maybe it was just easy for me to connect, because I also grew up in a small town where it seemed sports were all that mattered? I'll make my point though, if you like this book, buy the second one, because I loved it more.
Loved it

I enjoyed the characters and their interactions, the plot, and the ending. The writing style didn’t annoy me like in Anxious People. Beartown is 2nd best behind A Man called Ove
A must-read!
Published by Linn , 5 years ago
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Backman has such a unique way of portraying vulnerability, human struggles, belonging, and inter-relational dynamics. A great book about hockey, achievement and dreams about something better, and about life in a working class town in Sweden.

An intense read of underdogs, denial, scandals, desperation, and protecting those you love at any cost. The Friday Night Lights of hockey. I had a hard time putting it down.
Different - but good!

When I started this book, I wasn’t sure how I would like it. Determining who was talking was confusing at first because of the amount of characters there were. When I focused on remembering who they all were, the book got better and better. It really kept my interest and you learned so much about each person. I would read it again.
