Book Review: Us Against You / Fredrik Backman

Have you ever read a book that you find yourself reading more and more slowly as the pages creep by because you don't want to get to the end? That was this book for me.

This is the story of a town, a town centered around ice hockey. But it is so much more than that. Fredrik Backman is a genius when it comes to character development. This is the story about perspective, about walking in another's shoes, about love - all kinds of love, about family - both the family that one is born to and the family that one creates, and about sport. The characters are so richly drawn that you cannot possibly find one to hate, even the most vile of characters.

This is the second book in a series - read Beartown first.
