Summary: Honest Writing Triumphs
Comment: Ken Baker has lived through the worst life could throw at him and come out on top. I not only have actually read his book, I also work with the team he wrote about and I am able to say that this book is as open and honest as a writer can get. Ken lets his reader see the desire he had to find out what he could accomplish once his illness was in remission and being controlled by medication. He allows you to live with him through his daily battle between depression that he might not get to play and excitement that he might. Ken will draw you in and keep you enthralled to the last page. Well written and deserving of every positive review he has received.

Summary: One of the best comeback tales EVER!
Comment: This is a fantastic book that puts you right on the buses, benches, and bars with the lowest of the low minor pro hockey leagues. Ken Baker does an excellent job inviting the reader into his quest for The Dream...to play pro hockey. I found myself with tears in my eyes at times reading this book, and other times I was laughing out loud. You don't even have to like hockey or sports to love this book...you just have to have a dream, and the desire to follow it.

Summary: Nothing wrong with a dream
Comment: Was this the best book ever written on hockey? Of course not but it is a very entertaining read.Now the reviewer from buffalo seems like he has an axe to grind.Yes this may have been low minor league hockey but who of us woundnt persue the same dream if we had the choice.Having worked in minor league hockey I found alot of his stories to ring true and being a former goalie who never got to pursue his dream its nice to sort of live it through someone else.I applaud Mr Baker for his book and for his having the ability to follow his dream.I hope he has continued sucess in what ever he moves on to.Im happy to have read his book and recommend it to any true hockey fan.
