DaveNash3 reviewed Beartown by Fredrik Backman
Review of 'Beartown' on 'Storygraph'
2 stars
A fictional Friday Night Lights set on a Swedish Ice Hockey Rink. A potboiler.
I read this in one day.
I gave I three stars because Backman over uses ominous one liners. That's this first chapter and ok, but the he writes lines like they'll never see each other as children again or she counted her kids two in bed, one in heaven or they'll wish she stayed home that night.
He makes some good observations about losing like a man and how people react to a Penn State like scandal. There's some good quotes in here.
