The Great One: Life and Times of Wayne Gretzky,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Great One : The Life and Times of Wayne Gretzky (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my 3rd grade son to write a paper with, and found myself completly engaged in it. For someone who didn't know much about "The Great One", I am now as big a fan as my son! Tells a lot about his younger years and doesn't just focus on the goals. AWESOME

Not this time Wayne,
By Samer (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Great One : The Life and Times of Wayne Gretzky (Hardcover)
I admire everything about Wayne Gretzky and everything he has done. But i also think Andrew did a poor job reflecting how much wayne gretzky has really accomplished. He is not just a great player , he is a great person. The book lacked certain detail and as the other reviewer said. It probably is only meant for a 3rd grade level =)
4.0 out of 5 stars
One of many, but definitely a great one,
By Kees (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Great One : The Life and Times of Wayne Gretzky (Hardcover)
There are a lot of books about Wayne Gretzky. This is a good one with a lot of nice pictures. All the highlights are included, but if you're a Gretzky fan you won't be surprised by any real new items.
