Brilliantly Written

Us Against You is the story of two towns and a forest and their hockey teams. Or rather it’s a story about hockey and the rivalry of two towns. It’s also a love story and a story of deep friendship. The characters come with backstories that overlap. The events sometimes shock us. Backman never disappoints. Highly recommended. This would be a great choice for a Bookclub discussion.

Beartown

Book one introduced me to this strong small town. I met the local town folk, I read the struggles, I felt for the characters.Book two...I may just live in Beartown. I am invested! I know these people, I don't just feel, I am vested in there lives. I celebrate for them, I cry for them. A mother's love is so well written. A father's journey compelled perfectly. The hockey teams draw you in! Politics, council, community, and corruption keep this plot stirring. You thecreader are not alone, you are a Bear from Beartown.

What a good series.

I love the story, the characters and the town. These characters are so well developed you think you will meet them when you go to Bear town or Anywhere, USA. This isn't just a story about hockey, it's a story about people, small towns and the people that are in your lives.This series has become like family to me. Bravo and thank you.

Fredrik Back man has done it again!

Great book which is unusual for a second book in a series. Explores love & relationships of all types, and the hate that can pop up when healthy competition turns into something violent. Can't wait to start the third book..

Amazing!!

Damn Backman really knows how to write a story! There’s a little bit of all of us in Beartown and this story about a hockey town is a unique look at human nature. This story will bring out all the feelings and keep you wanting more!

I have to admit, this one took all I had to keep reading. It was super slow for the first half of the book, but like the first one, I ended up not being able to put it down for the last half. Like it or not, you do start to care for the characters and even a stupid hockey game by the end.

Builds upon the previous book

Wow this Sequel is even better than book 1! I couldn't put down my Phone (Kindle app) Because the Mystery/tension/ plus its got a plethora of emotions that seem to build up with each page. Definitely a must read.

Love Backman but this fell short for me.

I recently finished "Beartown" by Fredrik Backman and it’s clear why it’s a favorite for so many. The story and characters drew me in completely and the masterfully crafted narrative had me falling hard for Backman's writing style so I was eager to dive into the sequel, "Us Against You," to see how he would further expand these complex characters.However, as I began reading, I found myself getting bored early on by the lengthy recaps of events from "Beartown." While I recognize the necessity of revisiting key points for continuity, this extensive summarization led to a loss of momentum and made it difficult for me to stay engaged in the story.I also noticed strong foreshadowing that was heavily woven into the narrative which built anticipation for significant revelations that, unfortunately, never seemed to materialize. I expected to witness some character growth, but it felt like we were treading the same ground as before, revisiting familiar struggles without much progress which raises a crucial question for me.Was it truly necessary to expand this story by another 430 pages? A tighter narrative might have kept things fresh and engaging while allowing for an even deeper connection to the characters I fell in love with in the first book. It feels a bit like a missed chance to rekindle that spark, and I left this journey with a sense of wanting more!
