None of us is perfect even when we try to be. So here we see bad guys with tender spots and good guys who let bad things happen. While many of the characters grow up with parents who are fairly negligent and sometimes abusive, we clearly see that even the best of parents make mistakes, falter at times, and say or do the wrong thing. For this latter group, the love for their children shine through in spite of any missteps or mistakes. We are privy to everyone’s life and so many just seemed tired. Everyone is keeping secrets to spare their loved ones. People who are hurting badly act out and the dominoes start to fall. The story is a tragedy in the true sense of the word. Two years have passed since the conclusion of the previous book, and we are brought up to date on what has happened to our favourite characters in the intervening time. Some are struggling with painful memories, secrets, despair, a sense of failing to reach their potential, deplorable home lives, and guilt. Even with a charming love story and joyous occasions, there was a sense of ominous foreboding throughout. I was incredibly tired of the politics, the scheming, the money involved in building the new club, etc etc etc. I’m calling it BEARTOWN BURNOUT!!
The trials and tribulations we all go through. Some of which we have to go through alone and some of which you can’t survive without those to get you through. My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry. Simon & Schuster. 16 June 2015. ISBN 9781501115066 . Retrieved 15 February 2016. Lev is one of the most surprising characters in the book. In what ways did your perceptions of him change over the course of the novel? In what ways does Lev fit in perfectly with the rest of Beartown?
The Winners is book 3 of the Beartown Trilogy, and what a fitting end it is. The Beartown Trilogy takes its rightful and permanent place on my all-time Top 10 best-books-ever-read list. Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own. Bobo: What an amazing son and brother you are! Ann-Katrin raised you so well and would be very proud. Your ability to make people laugh is one of your best traits. As soon as you pose a question to your friends, I admit to smiling, then laughing out loud, and then immediately crying like a fool. There is just something so special about you, your ability to make light of dark times and your ability to make people laugh. You’re the best friend and son anyone could ask for! It took me a while to catch my breath in the end, to absorb all that happened in this third and final book of the Beartown series. If you are a fan of the first two books, I suspect you will want to know what happened now that two years have passed since what happened to Maya, what happened in this town, to these families, to these characters - Benji, Ana, Ramona, Maya, Bobo, Peter, Amat, Sune and others and you will welcome the new characters. I had to know and for me this is the best of the three.
The setting is so well described it actually made me feel claustrophobic, but I could relate to the snowstorm. I enjoyed watching everyone coming together to help each other – this is the side of the town that I always loved. I’m going to do a Pros and Cons on this one because my thoughts are all over the place and if you love this book – don’t read on, and please don’t hate me.
I read because books are a form of transportation, of teaching, and of connection! Books take us to places we’ve never been, they teach us about our world, and they help us to understand human experience.”
THE WINNERS asks us to consider if everyone is deserving of forgiveness, and if someone who commits a terrible crime can be punished enough to wipe their slate clean. What do you think about these challenging questions? Has there been a time in your life when you’ve struggled with forgiving someone else? With forgiving yourself? There are so many powerful and emotional moments in the book, what part of the book moved you the most? The center of the team is the 17-year-old star, Kevin, coached by David and managed by Peter. Peter is married to Kira (a lawyer), and they have two children, Maya and Leo. Maya is a teen whose best friend is Ana. Amat, whose mother Fatima is a cleaner, is added to the team for his speed. Benji is Kevin’s best friend, and Ramona runs the local pub. These, and even more characters, round out the complex cast.

I didn’t love the first half, and there were even times that I had to force myself to continue reading. While I loved reuniting with the characters, it was a long ride to get to the end. I really enjoyed the storm and liked that it started with a bang!! I wish he would have played with this tension and kept it going because I didn’t feel it. The last 20% filled me with dread. I knew what was coming, but I refused to believe it. This part of the book is also the heart of the book, as readers have to say goodbye. After finishing this book, I am an emotional mess. Saying goodbye to these characters was harder than I thought. The choices we make, and the decisions that are made for us, some of which are little, some big, all of which have ramifications. Some of which are huge, and entirely unknown until they are too late. Beartown begins at the end and, with an opening line as ominous as this one, you just know there’s an epic tale to be unraveled.
