Us Against You A Novel Beartown Fredrik Backman 9781501160790 Books

I can’t get enough of the people from Beartown. Although I don’t think I could live in a place where winter was three-quarters of the year…brrr.

Us Against You is bestselling author Fredrick Backman’s sequel to his novel Beartown. Both are MUST reads. That is all my review really needs to say: just listen to me, they do not disappoint.

For those who need more convincing, well here goes:

Us Against You brings back all the characters we love, or love to hate: Benji (my fav!), Amat, Bobo, the Andersson’s, Ana, Sune, the Lyft’s, Ramona…I can keep going but will stop it there. We are also introduced to politician Richard Theo who is reminiscent of Tommy Carcetti from HBO’s The Wire, the Rinnius’ Brothers Teemu & Vidar, and new head coach Zackell.

This novel is about so much more than hockey, in fact there isn’t that much of it actually played. It focuses on the community’s handling of “the scandal” aftermath from Beartown: with politics muddling in and creating even more conflict between Beartown and Hed residents. You are either a Bear or a Bull and you hate the other for even existing. Families, friendships, secrets, the club…will never be the same. Trigger warning: there is a fair amount of fighting.

Backman’s writing consists of simple sentences packed with punch: so much meaning with the right amount of build up: his writing style is brilliant!

Us Against You A Novel Beartown Fredrik Backman 9781501160790 Books Reviews

This sequel to Beartown was great. I found the political story line very intriguing and very true. The idea that conflicts create power and how to make that work for one's personal goals was well developed. His stories always show the best of people and the worst of people all in the same persons. Again, this story was not as light as his other books, but it was just as awesome in other ways.
Five star novel. I had previously read Beartown and thought it was outstanding. Us Against You is as good or better. Backman tells a compelling story featuring fully developed cast of characters. Novel simulates a sporting event in that the reader experiences the highs and lows of winning and losing. Book is full of surprises as the author brings the reader to the edge of a cliff, retrieves us and surprises us. Witty dialogue. Many unforeseen twists and turns. Strongly recommend both Beartown and Us Against You.

I selected "Us Against You" as my book club selection for 7/19/18. Book was enjoyed by all participants of book club. Approximately half of the folks in the book club also read Beartown in preparation for the meeting.

Definitely need a sequel. I eagerly await the follow-on novel featuring Alicia.
I enjoyed Beartown so much that I bought 10 copies and game them to my child’s teachers and close friends. Therefore, I was nervous about the sequel. Would it let me down, after I raved about the first installment? NO IT DID NOT, in fact it was as good or even better than Beartown. Not sure why it’s not in the top 10 books (in terms of New York Times). I am not going to list all the characters and plots, as many of the other reviews did that. I will simply say Mr. Backman has a way with his words, which bring on strong emotion to one’s psyche. I could have read the entire novel in one sitting but made myself space it out over a week. By far the best book of 2018, just like Beartown was the best book of 2017. I pray there is a 3rd installment! I rarely (if ever) give 5 star reviews, but this author is in his OWN class.
This sequel to Beartown is every bit as insightful as the original. The author's ability to weave so many difficult and complex social issues into his stories is an artform unto itself. At a time when the world so desperately needs this kind of insight and wisdom, you could not better spend your time reading and thinking about what Backman brings to the table. I love the work of this author and hope it gathers a very wide audience. To do justice to this book, read Beartown first, this second.
It was so sad to be at the end of this story. I lived with the various characters for days and now miss checking in with them each time I picked up the book. And it was really hard not to read the book all at once .Backman has such a grasp of the complexities and nuances of personalities and communities and the impulses that drive or pull us. The story is riveting, sometimes heartbreaking, a gem of a tale. Much to reflect on as we wonder about our own lives what we do, why, how we see others, the choices we make..
I first discovered Backman when a little bookstore had one of his books on display My Grandmother Told Me to Tell You She Was Sorry. The title intrigued me. The writing style was unique and the story fetching. I then read all Backman's titles that were available. Us Against You was the last and the one I think touched me to the core. Very special.
Each and every time I read a Backman book, I am amazed by his grasp of humanity and his ability to express what makes us wonderful and what makes us horrible. His characters are deep and broad, his settings are just enough to make us feel at home, and his stories are intricately woven tapestries. I don’t often think that I’d like to sit and share a beer with an author, but this guy makes me want to fly half way across the world and buy him one. If you haven’t read Beartown, you don’t have to do so in order to enjoy this book, but do yourself a favor and do it. You’ll never regret the time you spend on a Backman novel.
I can't write a review that will do this book justice. There's so much to it. So many things to think about, so many characters to think about. I'm still in awe. Days later I'm still in Beartown, and I've figured out what's bothering me and has been ever since I finished the book I don't want to leave. I want to stay and talk about it, I want so much to talk about it. And I'm frustrated and sad, because the only people I want to talk to about it, the people with whom I want soooo much to talk to about it, are all in the book. Over a coffee or a beer or one kind of whiskey. In the forest, in the rink, at the kennels, in the pub. They're part of my heart now. Frederik Backman, you amaze.
I can’t get enough of the people from Beartown. Although I don’t think I could live in a place where winter was three-quarters of the year…brrr.

Us Against You is bestselling author Fredrick Backman’s sequel to his novel Beartown. Both are MUST reads. That is all my review really needs to say just listen to me, they do not disappoint.

For those who need more convincing, well here goes

Us Against You brings back all the characters we love, or love to hate Benji (my fav!), Amat, Bobo, the Andersson’s, Ana, Sune, the Lyft’s, Ramona…I can keep going but will stop it there. We are also introduced to politician Richard Theo who is reminiscent of Tommy Carcetti from HBO’s The Wire, the Rinnius’ Brothers Teemu & Vidar, and new head coach Zackell.

This novel is about so much more than hockey, in fact there isn’t that much of it actually played. It focuses on the community’s handling of “the scandal” aftermath from Beartown with politics muddling in and creating even more conflict between Beartown and Hed residents. You are either a Bear or a Bull and you hate the other for even existing. Families, friendships, secrets, the club…will never be the same. Trigger warning there is a fair amount of fighting.
