Editor's Notes and Comments:
Amazon.com:
One of those rare athletes whose skills raise the level of his sport, Mario Lemieux, who twice led the Pittsburgh Penguins to the Stanley Cup, was a courageous and charismatic presence from the moment he skated onto the ice; he deposited his very first NHL shot into the net, and never looked back. No defense could stop him, not even Hodgkin's disease. He forechecked just about everything that stood between him and his goals--both on and off the ice. Lemieux retired in 1997, his place in the hockey pantheon assured, and The Final Period, with its dazzling display of text and photographs, is a brilliant tribute to his career.

I may have waited too long to purchase this, considering the last posted review was over 8 years ago. Apparently due to this, Amazon seems not to have any more mint conditions in stock, as the very first one I ordered looked used as soon as I opened the shipping box...not in shrinkwrap and the outer cover was clearly scuffed. When I opened it, the spine was horribly broken! I immediately returned it and demanded a mint condition (new) book. What I got on the 2nd go-around was another with minor scuff marks on the outside, but at least the rest of the book was intact. I wanted a keepsake/collector's item and what I got is just a hand-me-down. :( I would have given this 1 star, but it IS Mario, after all.

I like to call this book an "Adult picture book" because of the easy read and scrapbook of great pictures. I only wish it was written a few years later so Mario could tell us about his plans to save the Pittsburgh Penguins. This is one athlete that has never been arrested, has never done drugs, has been happily married to his wife (and he has only had one wife), and he's not going to go bankrupt anytime soon. Hats off to a great athlete and an awesome man.

This book is the best book I've ever read on an athlete. It gives plenty of information throughout his career and really shows you what a class act Mario is. Not only is it detailed well, but the pictures are awesome. If you doubt Mario as being one of the best athletes out there, read this book. You'll see why he earned the name Super Mario.

Mario Lemieux: The Final Period is a very nice book, mainly made up of photos of "Le Magnifique". The book has few words, but countless wonderful photographs. It features many game-action photos of Mario during his years as a Pittsburg Penguin, as well as personal photos of him and his family, and even hockey action photos of Mario before his NHL playing days. A must have for a Mario Lemieux fan.
