Book Review: A Review You Can Trust
Summary: 5 Stars
Quite simply this book is a Masterpiece. I am so thankful and happy and appreciative that the author (Douglas Hunter) wrote this remarkable tale of the rise to glory by Steve Yzerman. You know it would have been hard for me to believe that I could love and respect and appreciate Stevie Y any more than I already did, the man is a true inspiration. But after reading this book, I DO! I DO! I DO! LOVE AND RESPECT AND ADMIRE AND APPRECIATE HIM EVEN MORE!!! Stevie Y is special and Mr.Hunter captures exactly why in this Masterpiece of literature. There would not be a "Hockey Town" painted on the Red Wings ice without Stevie Y. There would not be thousands of fans in the Joe celebrating life and the restoration of a franchise as the Red Wings with the victory of a 97 and 98 and much later on 02 Stanley Cup. By the way I think the 02 Red Wings are the greatest hockey team of all-time and one of the greatest sports teams of all-time and I am a fan of every sport so I have seen a lot of great teams. The reading is quick and enjoyable and fascinating at all times. The atmospere and situation is perfectly set. It's almost like a Hollywood movie that no one could believe as fiction but in real life we rejoice it as a sign that maybe this world does want some of us to be happy. The endless disappointments, the tears of Stevie Y on two seperate occasions because of two game seven losses when a Cup was exspected. To the tears of joy and the smile on Stevies face when he raised that cup in ELATION. It's all chronicled here in these pages. You will not be disappointed.
Buy this book and let yourself go, let yourself get lost in a story that should live through the ages, the story of Steve Yzerman and what it took to make him a CHAMPION.
