Herb Brooks: the inside story of a hockey mastermind.

For my non - fiction book, i decided to read a book about a famous hockey coach. I thought the cover was cool and i thought i would like it. I read through like the first 30 pages or so. It was really boring !! I mean, as much as i like hockey, i was not that big of fan of the book. This book was written by John Gilbert. He wrote this book because he was around sports his entire life, and has written books on hockey at all different levels, and he decided to write a book on Herb Brooks who had been an inspiration to him a long time. Since Herb brooks had been a player and then a coach it was easy for him to relate. I did not really take an interest to this book because It was not really written for people of my age and i have to admit, there were a lot of words i did not know and it kinda gets boring when you can not really understand !! hhahahha. At the very beginning it bored me too but i kept reading, hoping it would get better. No chance, but for sure if i was older, i would definitely like this book a lot better. But i think the cover is cool because it had an american flag in the background and a net in the front, so it basically represented american hockey:] which is like right down my alley :]]]]] I also like the puck in the net, it gives it a nice finishing touch. And the author being on the cover is cool too i guess... hahha !

  1. Yeah i'm not really a non-fiction fan myself but i have a friend who would probably jump all over this. Yeah the cover does kinda make the book seem better but your probably right as most non-fiction books are just facts....... facts...... more facts....... maybe a little action here and there but nothing really that interesting.
