"wonderfully basic collage of Paul Kariya facts and photos"
Expecting a large 8 by 10 inch book of over 100 pages of fantastic verbosity, I received a small, 60 page book with language suitable for a 6 year old. But I thought it was just great! Perfect for new Kariya fans and younger hockey fans. Not recommended for hard-core hockey fanatics, but a definite read for little hockey tykes. ... Read more

Pursue your goals
I am a sixteen-year-old fan of Eric Lindros, and, yes, I read (and proudly own) this children's book of his. I immensely enjoyed reading it, and actually found it quite inspiring. I feel that this book provides young kids with a new look at the life of a superstar athlete, such as Eric, and shows these children that people like him really are the same as you and me. The message he sends through "Pursue Your Goals" is wonderful, as it tells the children to always work hard and to never, ever give up on any of the goals or dreams they may have in life, no matter how difficult the road ahead may seem to be, because, in the end, hard work, a positive attitude, and dedication really do pay off.

Eric is just as good off the ice as on
Lindros is just a great person. Though his style of play makes you believe he's mean and nasty, in reality he is one of the good ones. His work with the Children's Miracle Network is amazing, and he truly loves kids! This book shows all of this. He is a great role model for kids. ... Read more

The Village Idiot Grows Up
One chapter isn't bad reading, if you're a Tickethead.The hockey stories are pretty interesting, also.Unfortunately, his ramblings about the environment are an all-too-painful reminder of the cluelessness that made his Dallas radio show unlistenable.Making a long story short, the village idiot may have grown up, but he didn't get any smarter.

Like The Beatles
I don't normally write reviews on here, but I thought that the last one was a little too harsh.There were a few typos in the book, yes, but the sentences were not necessarily run-ons.They were just more complex than I ever expected from the author.

This is not a masterpiece, but if you are a Tickethead, I suggest it.It gives a good behind the scenes look at the station and what happened when Rocco was let go.The urban and suburban stuff, while often rhetoric, is substantive and will either make you mad or grin in agreement.It is incoherent, but Rocco points that out himself.He apparently is going to offer a more focused book someday.Anyhow, I recommend it. And Rocco, I am glad you are doing well.You have kept enough of your abrasiveness to stay edgy, but lost enough of it to be entertaining and more than tolerable.

If you like typos and poor editing, this book is for you
I don't think anyone edited this book.After getting through all the misspelled words and run-on sentences, I was convinced that I had died and gone to reading hell.These weren't ramblings; these were incoherent thoughts and meaningless stories that were pretty unrelated.The only saving grace is that this guy's wheels are so far off, that you can't help but laugh at him. ...
