Cheesy and cliche as hell to write, but the Beartown books are the essence of the human condition in today's literature. People at their best and worst and everything in between. I will be back for the next installment. :)

For some reason this book did not affect me as much as Beartown. I dont know why but I could not get emotionally invested in it.
What I loved about Beartown is how realistic it was. Absolutely heart wrenchingly realistic. It was full of human emotions. It was so beautiful and so heartbreaking.
And sadly I feel like this sequel lacked these elements.
Some characters felt unrealistic and sometimes just like comic relief at the start.
I did not enjoy reading so much about the politicians (skimmed through a large portion of it) . I didn’t feel connected to any of the new characters and was not affected by anything that happened to them.
Also alot of events felt far fetched and required alot of suspension of disbelief.
However, I enjoyed reading about the lives of the characters from the previous book. Bobo, Benji, Amat etc. Seeing their character development and how their lives changed felt melancholy.
