Wide appeal for hockey fans."—PW. "...far superior to the hero-worshiping, gee-whiz, then-we-played, ghostwritten autobiographies so popular today....Howe has his darker side...also captures Howe's sense of fun and makes it clear that the man lived to play hockey....Must reading for hockey fans."—Booklist. "A very impressive book...thoughtful, well-written and marvelously evocative of the era when the NHL had only six teams and the Red Wings were one of the best...an excellent biography."
