bigethan reviewed Beartown by Fredrik Backman
Great characters but very dark
2 stars
The depth of the characters, and the quality of the writing, made the dark side of the plot extra painful. I respect it, but it's not for me.

Stunning. Hard to describe. I’d probably say it’s more 4.5 because it’s not without flaws but it’s the type of book where you will finish it and just sit and hold it and look at the cover for a while and try to digest what you just read.
