The sequel to Beartown, Us Against You, does not disappoint. I still prefer the original, but this is another fabulous read by a very talented author. The book picks up where Beartown left off, but even if you haven't read the first book, you will enjoy the second.
If I'm picky (and I am), I think there's too much time spend summarizing Beartown in the sequel. I understand that we need to be reminded about what happened and there may be new readers who need to catch up, but it seemed a large part of Us Against You was spend filling in the facts. My other complaint is that the author is a master of foreshadowing... to the point where I was going crazy with it! He continually teases the reader with what's to come. Get on with it!!
All that being said, his characters are beautifully developed and the writing is superb. Highly recommend. - June
