Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
No one in the history of Philadelphia Sports has made a successful career off of being an average player better than Keith Jones. The improbable hockey career of Jonsey started in 1992, when he was with the Washington Capitals. After a brief stint in Colorado, Keith was traded to Philadelphia, where is hard work, dirty play and colorful personality made him one of the more popular players in recent history. Jonsey is the story of Keith s career in the league as well as all of the interesting stories he accumulated over the course of his career, playing with some of the leagues best players in the last 15 years, including Peter Forsberg, Joe Sakic, Mark Recchi and Eric Lindros. The book will include a forward written by Hall of Fame defense-man Ray Bourque.

As a WMU alum (class of '94) and hockey fan, I had the good fortune to have great seats for pretty much every home game for Jones during his junior & senior years in college. He impressed me as a player then. Given that connection, and hearing through John Buccigross' column that the proceeds for this book would go to charity, I pre-ordered this and read it immediately upon receiving it.
The life and career of Jones are told through his unique voice throughout. This makes for very easy reading - if it seems aimed at a slightly younger-than-adult audience - and the 200 or so pages, much like Keith's career, go by far too quickly.
Passages are both hilarious and touching.
Highly recommended!

I liked this book. It's not horribly well written but it was enjoyable for the price.

Keith Jones has an engaging personality, and does a creditable job (with John Buccigross' assistance) in recounting his improbable rise through the ranks of junior hockey to the NHL.
So why the 3 star rating, you ask? I prefer a more succinct, less repetitive writing style, and was hoping for more NHL insights, as well. It would have been nice to have had Jonesy's stats at the back of the book, and a few more pictures and funny stories.

I am honored to call Keith Jones my friend. He and I went to public school and high school together and played street hockey on several occasions with him. He may have some grit on the ice...but hes a great guy off the ice and has wrote a good book. Keep up the good work Jonesy and I will see ya in Brantford sometime.

I loved this book and so did my friends. I took it with me on a weekend trip to read and it was stolen by a friend. I was more then happy to give it to her as I had bought extra copies knowing what would happen to it. She is passing it on and it will continuing making the rounds I am sure. As a Flyers fan I loved Jonesy on the ice and now love listening to him do colour for the Flyers games. His humour and knowledge of the game shows in his commentary and in this book. I recommend it to any hockey fan.
I do agree with the editing, many errors but that didn't make me enjoy the book any less.
Needless to say, this took care of several Christmas gifts on my list.
