katiez624 's review for:
Us Against You
by Fredrik Backman
In this second book, we learn more about the people and place of Beartown, where hockey is everything. Peter gets a chance to save the hockey club, but the price to pay is high. Backman is a genius at hooking in the reader from the very first page by teasing the catastrophic thing that will take place but leaving the reader to guess the details. He drops breadcrumbs and red herrings throughout to make everyone a potential victim/perpetrator.
The way that Backman portrays his characters is so vivid and realistic, making them well-rounded with plenty of flaws, both relatable and lovable, which is no small feat. The heart of the people of Beartown is undeniable.
