This book to me is 5 stars-- a lot better than even The Game by Ken Dryden. His life story told from himself creates a very solid atmosphere and ultimately a great blend of tragedy into fantasy. This is one of the few books I finished within a week without having to do for school work.

An interesting story. Very inspirational. Well written. Its a true story and I love that, it gives you another reason to always have hope and to never give up.

Someone had given my husband a copy of this book to read and I picked it up one day because I am a big-time hockey fan. I read it cover to cover in all of about five hours. I was completely absorbed by Ken Baker's story, I think much more so because I know a lot of the players he talked about. Jason Firth, John Vary, Willett, Hayzie and my favorite, Beau-beau(David-Alexander Beauregard), I smiled each time I read their names, thinking of the times they spent in Port Huron over the years. Minor league hockey is not glamorous (try being married to a broadcaster), but Baker's dream moved me. So many people in his position would have just given up and he kept digging deeper, he knew he could do it if given the chance. I wish I could be that brave.

I couldn't put it down. A GREAT book!. I read it over and over again. It's very inspiring. Helped to recongized the importance of fulfilling a dream. It's way more than a hockey book it teaches life gulidlines.

If you like hockey or even if you don't you won't be able to put this book down. It's moving to the point of being captivating. In telling his comeback story Ken Baker reveals much about the inside workings of minor league pro hockey. He is transparent about his own life as well as presenting an expose on pro hockey. It's easy reading but also inspiring. This is one you'll want to read and pass on to your friends.
