It is also a story about overcome obstacles to achieve your goals, which our young people need to hear more of.Slap Shot Original: The Man, the Foil, and the Legend I was surprised to find that a lot of what was in the movie actually happened, and loved hearing about the behind the scenes shenanigans that went on. I didn't think this book would be that good, but was really surprised. I was around when this stuff was happening and can relate to what the author went through.
I really liked the movie, but figured what could possibly be in the book that would be interesting.Once I picked it up, I found it completely addicting and entertaining. The book is very insightful and with perspective that is often lacking these days.Beyond that it is just a fun book to read.
Laugh out loud at times fun.It's easy to dismiss Mr. I mean really fun.
I received this as a gift, and thought what most of us do when someone give you a book. It is amazing how hard a player had to work and live to make it to the NHL or WHA.
Hanson as a goon, but he is the type of person that deserves everyone's respect.Even as a writer. Oh, Thanks.
I got mad when I had to put it down, and it is so full of good stories, I already know I will read it again.The book covers a lot of details about how the movie was made, and what hockey was really like in the 70's.
The book offers insight in to how the movie was made, and how the characters were developed. IF you loved the movie, you will find the book very interesting and entertaining. and I did. It made me want to watch the movie all over again. The book does get in to a lot of Dave Hansons life after the movie, it is not just about the movie. It is more of a biography of Hansons life.
To me Dave Hanson's hockey history was interesting. Reading this book gave me the incentive to purchase another book from Amazon. I found this book to be very entertaining and funny. I didn't realize that he played for Herb Brooks. The Herb Brooks Book, (The Inside Story of a Hockey Master Mind) which I am still reading.Tony Mazzola As enjoyable as the movie. It could have been written better but I enjoyed reading about all the antics.
well, get the book and see. From the locker rooms to backsatge on the set of SLAP SHOT to the fights you will live the life through his words and enjoy the ride. If you love "Old time hockey" you will love this book. I can not tell his story as well as he can. Without a doubt, GET this book. Dave takes you into his life from the very beggining and tells about life in hockey while trying to make it to the "show". And when he finally gets the call, he shows up meets the owner and is handed.
