What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers are overwhelmingly captivated by this novel, often describing it as thought-provoking and emotionally impactful. They praise the writing style and character development, noting that even minor characters are well fleshed out, making the residents of Beartown feel incredibly real. Many draw comparisons to other emotionally resonant books, like "Daisy Jones," and appreciate how the story dives deep into both personal and community conflicts. The themes of hockey and small-town dynamics are woven into a narrative that transcends the sport itself, tackling heavy, relatable human issues. However, some readers found the multitude of characters occasionally overwhelming, and there are important content warnings related to sensitive topics such as sexual violence and trauma. Overall, it's a highly recommended read, credited with leaving a lasting impression on many.
