3 comments about Hockey Stars Speak: In-Depth Interviews With the Nhl's Biggest Stars.
- Wish I had a buck for every typo in this book. Brutal.
- Hhmm.. This wasn't a bad book at all. It gives pretty good insight into the lives of star players like Pavel Bure and such, and gives info on how they got started and who helped them develope into the players they are now. Around the back part it has some pages that go into the personal lives of players like Roenick and tells the kinds of superstitions and routines that they have and if your an Avs fan they have an interview with Marc Crawford at the very end. All in all, not a bad book.
- "Hockey Players Speak" is an enjoyable read so long as you ingnore the common punctuation errors and the fact that some of the players interviewed are still in the process of learning english. All in all, the reader gets some very personal stories directly from the player's mouths and at the same time realize that these guys are human and don't spend their entire lives on the ice.
The book is divided up into three categories: an indepth look at a players' life recounted by the player; 'Day in the Life of' section that follow's a players' typical day; and 'Press Conferences' that are neat little quickie interviews.
The best interviews are from the European players because so little is known about them and they are rarely focused on in other hockey books. Although their english is a little shaky in places, the reader is suprised to see that these usually quiet individuals are well spoken and are quite intellegent.
There's no startling revelations here, just some good anecdotes and quotes to help pass away a lazy, rainy afternoon. If you would like to delve a little deeper into some of the NHL's stars and learn where they came from then pick up this book. It's worth it just to see what their favorite ice cream flavour is....{You'll have to read it to find out!}
Enjoy!
