Us Against You by Fredrik Backman

greljo76's review against another edition

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Bachman did it again. This is as good as Beartown in my mind. Still, like Beartown, a bit slow in the beginning, but he always manages to draw me in and make me so utterly invested in this town and its people. The only criticism is the neverending stupidity of violence in sport. I know it's a real thing, but come on. I don't get it and it annoyes me so much so I get a little bit tired of reading about their stupid desicions over and over again. But that's all my criticism really... Oh, And Richard Theo. He annoys me the most. F that guy.

“A gruff-looking man in his forties, so similar to the young man that there’s no way the postman would ever have to take a paternity test, walks over to the Jeep and taps on the window.”

Too traumatized from the first book Beartown, and just couldn't do it again. May try again later
