I read this book in 1991 not long after it was released. I recall the sort of uninspiring empty feeling I had as I read this as truly there wasn't anything in this book that would make it seem inspiring. Given what I know now (and other sports fans) on his career in the NHL I felt at the time that this book was all hype. I had hoped then that I was wrong; as it turned out my hunch was correct.

I do hope that as the years go on that Mr. Lindros will write another book that reflects on his short comings and disappointments as this could truly be a book on redemption and self reflection.

As one would expect of the "jock memoir" genre, the central subject was presented in a rather braggadocios manner. And Lindros' family was placed on such a lofty pedestal that I had to wonder how much was realistic as opposed to hype. But I did find nuggets of inspiration as well as bits of information along the way.

Love this book. A little biased though because I knew Eric.

Interesting view of the politics of Canadian hockey. I was never really an Eric Lindros fan, but I can say that this book made me respect him as a player and a person
