A review by rnshack
Beartown by Fredrik Backman
2.0
2.5 stars rounded down. I think.
Ugh, I have no idea how to rate this. 2 stars? 3? 2.5, but rounded up or should it be rounded down? 1 star? 3 stars? I don’t know!
It was just so slow, and so boring, and to be quite honest I did a lot of skimming. I’m still counting this as read cause I did get to the end but man did it take quite the effort and plenty of skimming.
I think Backman may not be the author for me. I feel the same way about this book as I did about Anxious People. Slow, boring, and what in the heck was the point?
Also, I kind of hate the people of Beartown. But of course it ended on a cliff hanger so what am I supposed to do? I almost have to read it, right? It will drive me nuts not knowing what happened to everyone. Maybe I can find the cliff notes somewhere.
I should have known better than to listen to the hype. I didn’t like Anxious People either. I will never learn.
I can’t even get the energy up to leave a proper review about the actual book. I’m just exhausted by the story and ALL the characters. But maybe that says all I need to say about this book. Now the real question is, do I do it? Do I finish the series. Maybe, but probably not anytime soon. I need to forget how much of a slog this book was first.
