Loved it
Published by Jenni , 1 year ago
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 , 4 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.
