Book Reviews of Searching for Bobby Orr
Book Review: Simply put: one of the great books about hockey!
Summary: 5 Stars
Only Ken Dryden's "The Game" rivals this one, in my mind, for hockey writing excellence. Though, at only 42, I am too young to remember seeing the greatest defenseman ever play the game, I do recall his retirement ceremony at the old Boston Garden, when grown men cried at the sight of Bobby Orr in a suit instead of on skates.
Just as Bill Russell is a Boston legend I never had the opportunity to see perform, Bobby Orr will forever live in my memory as the thoughtful and highly intelligent, youngish looking man who is deloved by New Englanders for all he had done.
Highly recommended for all sports fans!
Summary of Searching for Bobby Orr
The book every hockey fan has been waiting for; the story of the elusive Bobby Orr, one of the legends from the glory days of the NHL. Searching for bobby Orr chronicles Orr's life from his humble beginnings, skating along a frozen river in Parry Sound, Ontario, to the height of his career as the league's top-scoring defenseman, who shot the goal that won the Boston Bruins the Stanley Cup. Orr also had his lows-he will forever be known as a key figure in the Alan Eagleson scandal and for the injuries that forced him into early retirement. In Searching for Bobby Orr, Stephen Brunt gives us insight into life and times of bobby Orr and in doing so reveals game and a country in transition.Orr, Bobby Books
