Although the theme of the book revolves around two competing hockey teams in the same area, it is so much more than this. The characters are very well fleshed out snd you find yourself caring for some and despising others. You feel as if you know them. The author has a unique style and is very philosophical about human nature. He frequently hints about events that will occur in the future, without giving them away.

I love Backman's books as they always have lots of well developed characters and insightful prose. This book that is based on hockey (not my scene) just uses hockey as a launching pad for a great story. Another winner fro Backman.

I am in love with this book. It made me cry, laugh, and smile. It has all the feels. It makes you feel included and part of the town. It is written so well! You need to read this book.

The sequel to Bear Town, Us Against You is another great book by Fredrik Backman. Read Bear Town first. Us Against You is not a stand alone book in my opinion. Backman always delivers on his books. You won't be disappointed. His books are the kind you keep on your bookshelf instead of donating.
