"Seventy pages in, Beartown isn't about hockey; it's about desperation. Backman paints a town that places its entire survival on teenage boys. You feel the pressure radiating off the pages. The town adores them, but only as long as they are useful. That terrifying reality—of affection being conditional on what you can provide—is something I can unfortunately relate to." — 5 hours, 25 min ago

"Lyle inverts the concept of safety. Moving from the blizzard to Wescott Manor doesn't feel like a rescue; it feels like a cage closing. The horror isn't just the storm, but the suffocating rituals inside. It begs the question: Is it better to freeze alone, or be warm in a house that views you as a pawn? Privilege often disguises itself as protection while quietly locking the doors." — 5 hours, 21 min ago
