[Ryan Reed · Rating 2 out of 5]

As a die-hard Bruins fan, I was really excited to read the book, and I did read it cover-to-cover. However, I would not recommend doing that. This book is really more of the "bathroom reader" type, meant to be picked up once and a while and taken in pieces. The author repeats himself an incredible amount of times in describing who someone is (if I have to hear him identify who Harry Sinden is one more time...) or what happened during a particular event that you get annoyed with him. Helpful I guess if you read a couple pages once a week, but not when you read it straight through. In addition, the title is quite misleading, as it is definitely more of things you should "know" than "do" (By a ratio of close to 10:1).

There is definitely some great history here for fans of the Bruins to learn, but it could have been presented in a much better manner.

a fun read but not a book you want to sit down and read straight through.
