Book Reviews of Slap Shot Original: The Man, the Foil, and the Legend
Book Review: Surprised!
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't think this book would be that good, but was really surprised. I was around when this stuff was happening and can relate to what the author went through. I was surprised to find that a lot of what was in the movie actually happened, and loved hearing about the behind the scenes shenanigans that went on. It is also a story about overcome obstacles to achieve your goals, which our young people need to hear more of.Slap Shot Original: The Man, the Foil, and the Legend
Summary of Slap Shot Original: The Man, the Foil, and the Legend
Slap Shot ranks as one of the most popular sports movies of all time, and the bespectacled, fighting Hanson Brothers are among the most memorable characters ever spawned by the silver screen. Now, one of the brothers--real-life hockey player Dave Hanson--invites readers onto the movie set and into the rough-and-tumble world of minor-league hockey in this hysterical and highly anticipated autobiography. Follow Hanson's fascinating life from the tough neighborhoods of St. Paul, Minnesota, to Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where he played for the Jets and made hockey's greatest movie (chumming with Paul Newman and getting involved in all kinds of mischief), and on to the NHL, where his boyhood dreams were fulfilled. Hanson's story--filled with both hilarity and adversity--will make you laugh out loud and warm your heart.Entertainers Books
