From the Bookshelf of Tyler Public Library…

[close] In Us Against You, Backman continues his story of the small hockey community Beartown. The reader meets the same familiar Beartown characters: the players, coaches, & fans that populate the struggling town. No one knows the inside of his characters minds and hearts better than Backman. He is the consummate storyteller. With my heart lodged in my throat, a box of Kleenex in my lap, I could not turn the pages fast enough. Only Backman could get me to read two books about hockey. And, if he writes more novels about hockey, I'll be the first in line to read them.
Highly recommended for all.
