Review: Total sob fest - Get ready to cry ugly. This isn't an easy breezy book to read. Review: 4.5 stars! “Have you ever seen a town fall? Ours did. We'll end up saying that violence came to Beartown this summer, but that will be a lie; the violence was already here. Because sometimes hating one another is so easy that it seems incomprehensible that we ever do anything else.” I don’t know whether to be happy or sad, whether to cry or smile. Every word written by him is like a wave of feeling, crashing over me and leaving me breathless with its intensity. I feel my heart breaking and mending all at once, and I am unable to shake off the impact of his words. And that is a Backman for you - an extraordinary writer whose each and every word drips with emotions. This second book is about the aftermath of the devastation that rocked Beartown in the first book. It is how the people of Beartown react to the tragedy that occurred. We feel all the deep emotions that swirl within the town's residents - anger that boils, frustration that gnaws, guilt that consumes, and despair that threatens to swallow them whole. This is not merely a tale of hockey. It really really is not. It is about family, friendship, love, envy, unity, and.. loss. Who or what impacted me the most you may ask? I would say Beartown - the residents of Beartown - each and every sad, quirky, mad, emotional, scary, funny, loveable, angry character of Beartown. Be it Benji, Maya, Kira, Amat, Bobo, Peter, Elisabeth, Ana, Teemu, Ramona, Vidar. Ah, my heart.. Just like the first book, this story exposes the raw and flawed nature of human beings. No one is perfect, and it is this imperfection that makes each character relatable. You will hate someone only to empathize with them in the next. You will love someone, yet understand when they make mistakes. I took my time reading this book because I wanted to savour each and every word. Those little nuggets of wisdom - on the unconditional love of parenting, dynamics of marriage, profound friendship, community, on hope, love, and loss. Every page teaches you something and forces you to introspect. There were times when I closed the book and just absorbed the brilliance of his writing, his thoughts, and his understanding of human emotions. A moving and thought-provoking story that affirms Fredriks's prominence as one of the greatest authors. Absolutely recommend. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #104,866 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #15 in Sports Fiction #475 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #831 in Literary Fiction | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,189) | | Dimensions | 13.49 x 2.84 x 20.96 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 150116080X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1501160806 | | Item weight | 340 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 448 pages | | Publication date | 5 March 2019 | | Publisher | Washington Square Press | ## Images ![Us Against You: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81W2K2d3vdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Total sob fest *by B***A on 27 June 2023* Get ready to cry ugly.
