Title: Booooooooring
Review: I have no idea what people like about this book. I'm a huge hockey fan. I grew up in Montreal in the '70s -- I LOVE the Canadiens - especially of that era. But this book is powerfully bland. Stupendously vanilla. Ostentatiously uninteresting. I agree with the reviewer Zeiler -- I wanted to like this book. But, I don't care that Dryden felt "liberated" roaming the streets of the Village in New York, or that Doug Riseborough was a truly "nice" guy. Ugh. If you want a great sports book, read Jim Bouton's "Ball Four". At least it opened your eyes to the underbelly of baseball. Dryden is a lawyer and it's written like a lawyer would write -- there's nothing here anyone would object to, so he had no fear of being sued!
Is the review positive or negative?
