![]() ![]() The two towns hold a long grudge manifested through their hockey teams, and because of the storm’s destruction Hed is forced to practice in the Beartown arena, which prompts a few brawls. ![]() The Winners begins with a huge storm that sweeps through Beartown and Hed, knocking down huge trees and cutting power to almost everyone for at least a few hours. Backman’s books will always hold a special place in my heart, and this latest release is no different. ![]() This whole series is about hockey, and even though I could care less about sports, I still felt moved by these books and the characters within them. I didn’t read the middle book titled Us Against You, but its events were quickly summarized in The Winners anyway, so I never felt like I was missing out on anything. This Fall I was sent the third and last installment in that series called The Winners, which took me awhile to read due to its length (670 pages) but I enjoyed once I was able to ‘get into it’ ( a requirement for any larger book). Last year I read the bestseller Beartown by Fredrik Backman, the first in the Beartown series which had come out years ago. ![]()
