wengergal 's review for:
The Winners
by Fredrik Backman
Fredrik Backman once agains delivers a book that readers will want to inhale. This is the third book in his Beartown series. Even though the good majority of the book is of a slower pace, The Winners does start off with a flurry of excitement and ends with some more.
Much more than his other previous books, I found Backman heavily used foreshadowing in this story. I could feel the tension building. I knew that once again Backman was going to filet me emotions all over the place by ripping a beloved character from the book. The foreshadowing was palpable.
For those, like me, who love Backman's unique style of writing will not be disappointed with this book. He continues to have a beautiful way of describing people, place and events in a way that resonates with me. He is a master at his craft and once again he has proven that I will read anything and everything this author writes.
4.5 stars rounded up to 5. My only regret is that I didn't read all three books closer together so I remembered more of the characters before diving in to The Winners.
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and the publishers. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
