Customer Reviews

Love this!

The first book was good, but this book got even better. Yanked on my heartstrings for most of the time I read it, but a wonderfully written story. Benji has my whole heart.

If you think this is a book about hockey you’ve missed quite a bit.

This book should be required reading for being human. So many things happen and you feel like you could reach out and change the outcome. Just like life. Unlike reality you can understand the people who make the decisions for better or worse and love them for their faults.

Continuing Beartown

This is the second book in the Beartown series, and I think I liked it more than the first. Complex characters, suspense, strong familial love. I had a hard time putting it down. It's like Friday Night Lights, but hockey.
