Book Reviews of Don Cherry's Hockey Stories and Stuff
Book Review: Very Entertaining; Just Like 'Grapes' Talking To You From the TV
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've seen Don Cherry on his "Coach's Corner" show on TV's "Hockey Night In Canada," then you are well-prepared to read this book. "Grapes" goes from one topic to the next, rapid-fire, sometimes not completely finishing his thought. He just says what hits him at the moment. His grammar isn't the best either and he's extremely frank, sometimes outrageous. All of this is just the way we like it!!
Right in the beginning of this book, he explains to the reader that he's going to keep the same approach. When you read this book, it's like Cherry talking to you right from the TV screen 10 feet away. In case kids want to read the book, he says, he won't use profanity - so you can give this to your children. I appreciated that.
As someone old enough to know most of the names Cherry mentions in this book, I thoroughly enjoying hearing about these guys.....and about him. It's just wonderful stuff. Don't look for a cohesive story; that's not Don, but it's as entertaining as listening to him.
The only disappointment is that he never said how he got the nickname "Grapes." If someone knows, please write me!
