Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Doug: The Doug Harvey Story

Book Review: Thumbs Up
Summary: 4 Stars

My only complaint is that not enough space was devoted to Harvey's time as a perennial Norris Trophy winner. The author seemed content to focus more on Harvey's run ins with management than the ins and outs of what made him so great as a defenseman. I would have liked some more focus on the ice, although that kind of analysis may not be suited for more casual readers. My other complaint is that the author went a bit easy on Harvey's notorious drinking and partying. He didn't make excuses per se, but at times appeared to be rationalizing Harvey's often deliquent behavior and writing it off as the result of his biploar disorder.

Those minor complaints aside, this is a good, easy read, and definitely worth picking up if you're a fan of Harvey and the Habs, or the history of hockey in general.
