Beartown

Jackie.Davidson shared a tip "This is my new favorite book. I will admit that I put off reading it in the early chapters because of some ominous foreshadowing that I did not want to read. But then I sat and read straight thru the back half of the book, so engrossed in the story. Read it!"

jennifer_johnston_7706 shared a tip "This book definitely lives up to the “Hype” This is the author’s second best book just behind “A man called Ove”. You won’t be disappointed."

michael_commisso shared a tip "This book will forever hold a dear spot in my mind and my soul. I loved every line, every character and every lesson in this book. I think this book can truly help people teach their children how to handle adolescence, growing up,empathy and how to treat people. This book teaches you the effects you have on others and consequences not just for children but also for adults. I always wondered what people were talking about when they say a book changed their life. For me this is that book."

summeralism shared a tip "As a sports drama lover, this book is written so beautiful and poignant. Backman creates memorable characters with dimension and purpose. A gorgeous story told by multiple POVs, it swallows you up and keeps you up past bedtime, a real page turner."

emme_faith shared a tip "It is so worth it. I read it about 2 years ago and it is still my favorite book. It is definitely deep and heavy but it will also make you laugh."

sealz_78 shared a tip "My favorite book is either the deal of a lifetime, which is written by the same author, or suicide notes. Both of them will make you cry."

duncan_eastman shared a tip "Became one of my all time favorites before I even finished. Politics in a small town surrounding a local hockey team. I don't know that I've felt this connected to characters since growing up and reading Harry Potter."

carter_1010 shared a tip "Each chapter left me wondering what would happen next and due to this I read the last 200 or so pages in one sitting. There is some language but there is no hiding the multiple meaning/symbols in this story"

mary_crawford_6895 shared a tip "Love everything Backman has written. This book reminded me of my little hometown in Northern Michigan. The characters and their motivations were so splendidly developed I felt I was there, in Beartown."
