Review title: AWFUL Product review: This book doesn't earn a single star (but it's a required field for Amazon, so I had to give it one). It's a real letdown for Forsyth fans. If you're looking for his usual intricate plotting and character development, forget it. You won't find it here. The style is simplistic and the vocabulary wouldn't challenge an elementary school student. A real waste.

Review title: Honestly...not very good Product review: I've read a good number of hockey books, not necessarily many biographies, but this one was a pretty bad read. It basically reads as a long Wikipedia entry detailing his achievements and statistics of each season and playoffs combined with quotes and stories from newspapers. Very little insight into his intensity and personality is revealed.I realize Mr. Messier was not a part of this book, and that made it difficult (if not impossible) to really delve into him beyond statistics, but at the end the book was a pretty bland and dry read.

Review title: helpful and encouraging, but mostly for jazz pianists Product review: very helpful ideas and yoga practices. however, he must have mentioned that the relaxation exercises and meditation processes are directly taken from yoga. I was expecting more classical piano emphasis, but overall, there are many ideas that classical pianists can use as well. I would have one criticism to the main idea in the book: that of letting your fingers doing the playing and the mind enjoying the music from the space above... this is very dangerous for classical piano. that was how I used to play when I was an adolescent and suffered great mishaps in concerts when the mind kept coming back and forth.. of course he means being completely well rehearsed in order to have the mind float above, but still classical piano requires constant control ... AND being able to enjoy it simultaneously. The enjoyment comes by itself anyhow when one has complete control and has internalized the music.
