Us Against You

De: Fredrik Backman

Narrado por: John Sackville

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Us Against You by Fredik Backman, read by John Sackville.

A small, broken town sits on the edge of a frozen lake surrounded by a forest, its wounds still raw from a tragedy that tore its fragile community in two.

Beartown has lost its way. Now the cold and dark that surround the snowbound town creep in, and so do new conflicts and tensions. What was once a friendly rivalry with the neighbouring town is beginning to turn sinister and Beartown braces itself for another tragic blow.

How far will the people of Beartown go to preserve their reputations for a second, deadly time?

Us Against You is a spell-binding exposition of small-town life in all its flawed complexity.

The twists become predictable

First book is way stronger I plot and writing style. I still loved this one and will read the third one

First part was excellent but this one was better

Great book, lot more emotions then in first part. Story is compelling and keeps you tangled not allowing you to stop listening. At times I really struggled to stop reading. Highly recommended.

In Awe of This Man

Never has a book made me shed so many tears, in so many public places.
I am in awe of how Frederick Backman writes.
How he’s able to make you feel things you didn’t know you were capable of feeling.

Thank you for this book, so timely. We all needed it.

He always makes me cry

About 3/4 of the way through I thought, I love this, but not as much as Bear Town. But oh, the ending had left a big lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. And I just was Benji to be a real person. Because how can you not love Benji?

Grate book, grate author. My favorite

Amazing book, so full of motions and descriptions of human nature. Would recommend everyone to read his books

Amazing book

It’s an amazing book - so much inner thinking and human justification and deeds with harsh consequences. Such mature approach by the author- I really really liked it! Describing the psychological traits in mesmerizing detail. How human feel and sct, how they love, hate, grieve, forgive and continue living. Thank you!

Loved it...

As always, amazing book and performance! Would recommend it to anyone looking for a real story...

A rare treasure

This is one of those rare books that you keep bookmarking for quotes to ponder on and remember. The author manages to create astonishing insight into the human soul. He describes the ambiguity of sport and the deep meaning of the game which is not just a game with so much accuracy and such deep emotional understanding. It is a book that makes you both cry and laugh and leaves you thinking about it long after you have finished. The story and descriptions are simultaneously beautiful and unbearably raw. Of course the narrator matches the author’s excellence every step of the way. One of a very few five star books in my opinion.

Nothing stood out.This is not my kind of story.I

I didnt like any of the characters.The story could not hold my attention.Waste of money.
