There is a lot of repetition of sentences and grammatical errors. 2) There was an awful lot of concentration (from Bucci maybe?) on Jonesy's stats. I got deep and personal with his plus minus, his goals in a certain game, etc. But what was missing was more about what the players were like, more stories from the lockeroom, etc. I felt like I got his stat line, what he was feeling during games but after awhile less and less what the people were like in the locker rooms.<BR/><BR/>Overall, I would buy the book as its an interesting read about hockey and proceeds do go to a good cause. And honestly, the epilogue will almost make you cry.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759059813818382920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282149616119015865.post-61384438718245897512007-10-18T17:28:00.000-04:002007-10-18T17:28:00.000-04:00Wow, look at the size of his head.
