5.0 out of 5 stars The best Flyers book, by the best ever play-by-play legend!, September 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Score! (Hardcover)

This book is probably the best history of the Flyers that you could find out there. Full Spectrum ranks right up there, but it doesn't have Mr. Heart's personality like SCORE! does. I'm gonna miss Gene.......

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for Flyers Hockey Fans ! Long Live GENE HART !!, July 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Score! (Hardcover)

No one can tell a story the way Gene Hart did. He made you feel as though you were a part of every experience he retells in this book. Gene's love & passion for the game of hockey and the Philadelphia Flyers is clearly evident in this book. Gene not only chronicles the Flyers history from their entrance into the NHL, he also gives you a deep insight into the pride and character of a close knit group of players. We are all truly enriched by Gene's efforts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Should be owed by every true Cardinal fan., April 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Redbirds Revisited (Hardcover)

Unlike most books, these "memories" are not all about the stars that most of us know so well. Individual short stories about role players, short-timers and other lesser knowns makes this book truly enjoyable. It is evident that it is written by true Cardinal fans, because they take great joy in every small achievement made by both the team and the men who played for them. If you're the type of person who can't devote long periods of time to spending with a book, you'll love this one because of it's short-story format.
