3.0 out of 5 stars Grapes not fit for wine, but ok on the table, August 26, 2004

Leafsfan2028 (magnolia, tx, usa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Grapes:: A Vintage View of Hockey (Mass Market Paperback)

An ok book by the "don" of Canadien hockey. He tells some wonderful stories, but not enough of them. The worst part about the book is that he skips around a lot. His thoughts seem disjointed and he tends to not tie things together at times.

By A Customer

This review is from: Grapes:: A Vintage View of Hockey (Mass Market Paperback)

grapes is both funny and sincere in this no holds barred look at his life as a hockey nomad. this book is filled with highly entertaining personal anecdotes from grapes' life and his interactions with all of his former players, including the great bobby orr.

5.0 out of 5 stars GOOD GOOD READ, June 5, 2010

COOL JEWEL (MACEDONIA, OHIO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Grapes:: A Vintage View of Hockey (Mass Market Paperback)

DON CHERRY HAS BEEN AROUND HOCKEY FOR YEARS AND HE HAS MANY GOOD STORIES AND INSIGHTS TO PASS ALONG. THIS BOOK CALLED GRAPES HAS ALOT OF GOOD STUFF IN IT. IT JUMPS AROUND BUT THE READER GETS HOOKED ON THE HUMOR AND CONTENT OF THIS MUST READ BOOK. IF YOU LIKE OLD TIME HOCKEY THEN THIS IS FOR YOU. RECOMMENDED.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don rules, but I've read better books
For a hockey read, this is pretty good. However, for a truly 5-star book, "Thin Ice - A Season in Hell with the New York Rangers" truly puts this one to shame. Read more
