### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fredrik  Backman, every book is a 5 star read
*by C***S on July 29, 2025*

Before starting the Beartown trilogy (BEARTOWN, US AGAINST YOU and WINNERS) I read everything else Fredrik Backman had written as he is one of my favorite authors. Each book is unique with different characters and a different story angle. To those who compare him to Dickens, I agree that Mr. Backman will withstand the test of time just as Dickens has--perhaps our grandchildren will be reading him in the next century! Indeed it is an absolute pleasure to find an author who can give us readers so many characters with such distinct and unique voices. Once one starts reading it is easy to keep track of which character is which by their unique personality. Not only that but Mr. Backman's understanding of human nature is astounding.To be sure the Beartown trilogy is about more than hockey, it is about the essence of being human. And what better location to show this than in a very small out-of-the-way town next to a remote forest--Beartown. One of many reasons hockey is so important to Beartown residents is because there are two anemic summer months before winter with its bitter winds and considerable snow takes hold for the rest of the year. Hence practically everyone learns to skate almost as soon as they learn to walk. Even during good times and especially during bad times, hockey is an important part of life for the youngsters, their parents, their grandparents and most all other residents.I highly recommend all three books as they are a continuation of the lives of Beartown residents along with their interactions with their arch rival Hed, the small town on the other side of the forest. It was much appreciated that the second and third books started with recaps of the previous books so that when the new story started we were then up to date. Others have summarized the books but it cannot be stressed enough that, regardless of the character and his or her circumstances, Mr. Backman gets it right. And, by the way, it is not just in Beartown that winning matters. I ended up at every game due to my child's participation in high school activities and it seemed numerous students as well as their parents were as devoted as Beartown residents. Well, okay, almost! But many do believe the point of playing is to win and when losing, then play harder next time. Giving up is not an option especially for those seeking to move on up or perhaps to move away.Most who read these three books will long remember them. The characters who are coping with difficulties and working hard to struggle their way through them and into better mental places will touch your heart. Some will not live and those residents will also be long remembered but with great sadness. It was a privilege to read THE WINNERS so that we can leave Beartown knowing what happened to all the people we grew to care so much about. As an aside, someone mentioned Mr. Backman was considering retiring so let us hope that it is just a rumor because if and when he stops writing it will be a colossal loss to quality literature.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful, heart-wrenching trilogy!
*by J***N on August 15, 2025*

Fredrick Backman is a one-of-a-kind writer. Always unexpected, always entertaining. He has become one of my favorite authors. Makes me laugh out loud and makes me cry. Can’t ask for more than that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A hard book to read because of hard truths
*by N***L on May 24, 2025*

Backman’s The Winners completes his Beartown trilogy. Each book builds upon the story, which is as multi-faceted as the characters. To me, the strength of Backman’s writing is his depicting his cast without any particular prejudice. They are who they are, and they develop naturally into what they become in terms of their importance in the narrative.As a clinical therapist, I was impressed with Backman’s depiction of and sensitivity to the nature of trauma. For instance, I have worked with adult women who still suffer from their own rapes. There is at least one part of them—as with Maya—that is stuck in that event and is sensitive to it until they receive effective trauma therapy, or, if not, the rest of their lives. It was Backman’s treatment of the characters’ traumas and their lack of self-worth that made the series both so painful to read and so difficult to put down.The only downside for me was the narrative became somewhat repetitious and redundant, as if Backman’s had to make sure that we reader’s understand what he’s trying to convey about violence and ignorance and love and endurance.
