4.0 out of 5 stars Honest and Interesting Book, Good, November 4, 2003
By 
This review is from: Sawchuk: The Troubles and Triumphs of the World's Greatest Goalie (Hardcover)
I started reading this book because I had heard that Patrick Roy, who passed Terry Sawchuk's record of most winningest goalie, was reading it in order to find out more about the goalie he would be passing in the record books. What I found out as I continued reading was that even if you are just a fan of hockey in general, this is a great read. It is so honest that it is almost surprising that the Sawchuk family would want to release some of the information the reader finds out. It is even more interesting to read if you know someone who was an alcoholic, because Terry goes through many of the same troubles that other alcoholics do. The pictures included in the book are helpful and they give an idea of the people in Terry's life as well as the surroundings in his life. The writing style is easy to follow no matter how good of a reader you are, though sometimes the many statistics and names of other hockey players get confusing and boring. All in all, the Sawchuk book is fun to read and it really lets you in on Terry Sawchuks life on and off the ice.

5.0 out of 5 stars To gain the trust of the Sawchuk family is worth reading, April 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Sawchuk: The Troubles and Triumphs of the World's Greatest Goalie (Hardcover)
To read the personal lives of the Sawchuk family who kept Terry's life quite for thirty years is interesting and amazing.David Dupuis captures the facts of a life of termoil and the familys personal pains.I give Jerry Sawchuk the oldest son my blessings for releasing the information that has been kept within him and his family.This book captures not only the hockey legend but the radical collision he had with every day life away from hockey.My love goes out to the Sawchuk family and they should be proud of the fine job done with this fantastic book .

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, Easy, and Interesting Reading., November 28, 2001
This review is from: Sawchuk: The Troubles and Triumphs of the World's Greatest Goalie (Hardcover)
I bought this book as a present for my husband, who is a die hard hockey fan. But, I ended up reading it myself and I really enjoyed it. I get to know more of Terry Sawchuck than just the old NHL goalie whose record was just got broken by Roy. It is not the best written book, but it tells the story that it is suppose to tell. It was an easy and enjoyable reading and I am not even a Red Wings fan.
