I really liked it. My sister was surprised that I like Fredrik Backman because I can be snobby about art and stuff; I guess she thinks he’s basic? I’m currently reading The Winners, the third in this series, but I can’t find it on Bookwyrm. Is that because Bookwyrm is new?

Review of 'Beartown' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I have to disagree with the people who have said that you don't have to have an interest in sport to like this book. The first few chapters are all about ice hockey (which I have zero knowledge or interest in) with brief introductions to a lot of people. By the time the story started to evolve I had lost interest in sifting their stories out from the hockey theme.
