Book Reviews of Yzerman: The Making of a Champion
Book Review: Good within its limitations
Summary: 3 Stars
Douglas Hunter's subtitle "The Making of a Champion" tells the prospective reader what the author's focus is, as does the introduction. He sticks within those parameters and does a fairly good job of relating Yzerman's growth as a player throughout his career. I won't reiterate previous reviewers' listing of some factual errors. Those errors were annoying and caused me to subtract a rating star. I wasn't too bothered by the lack of information on his family because they were obviously a portion of Yzerman's maturation. Overall it's worth reading, although you may want to avail yourself of your local library's resources to obtain it because it's not a keeper for rereading, as Boys of Summer is.
Summary of Yzerman: The Making of a Champion
Douglas Hunter's Yzerman is a revealing portrait of how an individual star becomes a champion by transforming his game, sacrificing personal accolades to acheive team-based success, and, in the process, improves the players around him.General Books
