I would give this book 10 stars if I could. Wow. Just wow.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to explain what makes this book so incredibly special. The story itself isn’t especially unique and the beginning does read a bit slow...but, wow, the writing is so emotional. Every sentence makes you feel like you’re that character experiencing all of it. The character development is great. I want to know more about all of them and yet I feel like I do know them.
And everything feels so real...thoughts that the characters had, things that were said, how they were said, reactions to different events...it didn’t feel like a story, it felt like I was experiencing it all with real people.
Wonderful, wonderful book and I look forward to reading more by this author. ( )

I read this for the "Title Beginning With B" part of my 2020 reading challenge. This one was hard for me to review. The first half I found pretty dull and lifeless, and I'm really not interested in small town hockey teams. The second half really switched focus and it was well written, but I'm not sure I enjoyed it. I know what the girl went through happens on a daily basis and it's terrible women aren't believed when they should be, but the whole town being against her is hard to accept. ( )

Thought-provoking novel. KIRKUS REVIEWIn Beartown, where the people are as "tough as the forest, as hard as the ice," the star player on the beloved hockey team is accused of rape, and the town turns upon itself.Swedish novelist Backman?s (A Man Called Ove, 2014, etc.) story quickly becomes a rich exploration of the culture of hockey, a sport whose acolytes see it as a violent liturgy on ice. Beartown explodes after rape charges are brought against the talented Kevin, son of privilege and influence, who's nearly untouchable because of his transcendent talent. The victim is Maya, the teenage daughter of the hockey club?s much-admired general manager, Peter, another Beartown golden boy, a hockey star who made it to the NHL. Peter was lured home to bring winning hockey back to Beartown. Now, after years of despair, the local club is on the cusp of a championship, but not without Kevin. Backman is a masterful writer, his characters familiar yet distinct, flawed yet heroic. Despite his love for hockey, where fights are part of the game, Peter hates violence. Kira, his wife, is an attorney with an aggressive, take-no-prisoners demeanor. Minor characters include Sune, "the man who has been coach of Beartown's A-team since Peter was a boy," whom the sponsors now want fired. There are scenes that bring tears, scenes of gut-wrenching despair, and moments of sly humor: the club president?s table manners are so crude "you can?t help wondering if he?s actually misunderstood the whole concept of eating." Like Friday Night Lights, this is about more than youth sports; it's part coming-of-age novel, part study of moral failure, and finally a chronicle of groupthink in which an unlikely hero steps forward to save more than one person from self-destruction.A thoroughly empathetic examination of the fragile human spirit, Backman?s latest will resonate a long time.

Not what I expected after reading A Man Called Ove.

This is a portrait of a small town that doesn't have much going for it but a hockey team that's having a really great year. When things get out of hand at a hockey party reactions among the team, the townsfolk and the coaches are the focus of the second half of the book.

Quite a bit of this seems trite but there are a few storylines that felt more interesting. There's an ominous tone to the whole book because the first sentence really is a doozy. ( )

The bestselling author of A Man Called Ove tells a poignant story of a hockey town paralyzed by scandal. Jobs are disappearing and Beartown is slowly dying, so for its citizens, hockey is everything. Backman asks, “Why does everyone care about hockey? Because hockey tells stories.” This is the story not just of hockey, but of a 15-year-old named Maya Andersson, whose father, Peter, the general manager of the hockey club, loves hockey, but loves his family more. Seventeen-year-old Kevin Erdahl is the star of Beartown, with a chance to go professional. One night, after a huge win, Maya goes to a raucous party at Kevin’s house and is thrilled at his attention, but things get out of hand, and what takes place changes Beartown forever. Lest readers think hockey is the star here, it’s Backman’s rich characters that steal the show, and his deft handling of tragedy and its effects on an insular town. While the story is dark at times, love, sacrifice, and the bonds of friendship and family shine through, ultimately offering hope and even redemption. Backman veers close to the saccharine, but readers may be too spellbound to notice.

For my grandmother, Saga Backman, who taught me to love sports. What a quiet life I would have lived without her. I hope that the big bar in heaven serves proper dry martinis, and that they always show Wimbledon on the big screen. I miss you.

And for Neda Shafti-Backman, my funniest, smartest, more arguentative best friend who picks me up when I need it, and keeps my feet on the grund when I deserve it.
