A must read for any Devils or Brodeur fan. A good read for any hockey fan in general. Gives an interesting inside view of the team and league through the eyes of a player over the last few years.

I wanted to read this book since it came out and wasn't able to find it anywhere but online. Anyways, being a huge Hockey fan, I wanted to read about one of the all time best goalies in the NHL. I could not put it down, I read the thing in two days. It was well written, interesting and insightful. Great mix of personal tidbits, Devil's history, and hockey info all in one. But not so much of any one thing to cause me to loose interest. I have always admired Brodeur, but after reading this book, I am now a Brodeur fan, (but still not a Devils fan.) Well worth the time and money on this book.
Good Read!!

I enjoyed reading this book. I could understand why some other reviewers wanted a more in-depth look on his life. Brodeur doesn't divulge every little piece of information about his personal life, but sort of mentions some personal turmoil briefly, and then moves on. He does seem to recount the lockout and salary caps several times throughout the book, but I think he was only doing that to place an emphasis on how much the league has changed since the non-existant 04-05 season. There are many facts that I did not know about. He does mention his family, where he grew up, where he lives know, some pre-grame playoff routines,his relationship with the Devils owner, as well as other information that most may not know. It is an interesting book. It captured my attention all the way through!!
Great Book

This book is a behind the scenes look into the life of one of the best netminders ever... Brodeur. He is pretty funny at times, serious at others but has a great attitude about the best game ever: hockey, and he has tips for other players to survive happily in his world. Overall, this book is entertaining and factual. The pictures are great, also. If you are looking for a great piece of literature, look elsewhere. This is a biography by one of the best goaltenders ever to grace a net. A very good read and worth every cent. I would recommend this book to anyone with team management in their life (home, work, etc.)
