Very different from previous books, sad ending. Still a compelling read. Looking forward to his next book. My favorites are a man called over and my grandmother... Fascinating storyteller.

If you area fan of junior league hockey, you might like the book. We’re reading it for Book Club where our husband’s will join in the discussion. I don’t think my husband is finding all that compelling. Backman is a very good writer. Really liked some of his other books.

Fredrik Backman is a master writer. Bear Town is the first book I read of his but had borrowed it from the library. I wanted it on my bookshelf. My husband is now savoring the story after getting hooked on Backman with A Man Called Ove. You cannot go wrong with any Backman book.

Hooked on this book from the very first sentence! So many twists and turns. As always, an enjoyable book by Bachman that is hard to put down.

Bought this for my book club. We all agreed the first third or so was excruciatingly slow, but then it picked up. Turned out to be one of the best I have read. Just got the sequel & will start it soon.
