5.0 out of 5 stars Wayne Gretzky Review, April 14, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Wayne Gretzky (Ice Hockey Legends) (Library Binding)

By: Travis Reeves

This book was very good at giving information about the sport of hockey and one of the best players that ever played it, Wayne Gretzky. This book also kept me wanting to read. It did this too by using information I didn't know about Wayne Gretzky such as, his family life and the role he played off the ice.

Even as a smaller guy on the hockey teams he played on in the NHL, including the Rangers and the Oilers, Wayne Gretzky dominated. With his swift moves and technique he was able to score high and set records. One of his records he set was 300 points by his 30th consecutive game in an NHL season, which he continued to break by his 31st game.

Also in this non-fiction book of the hockey pro it mentioned some of the role models Wayne Gretzky had. These role models included his father, Walter Gretzky, a man who guided Wayne through his career and further.

This book really shows the good points to hockey. Also it gives good information about Wayne Gretzky and his accomplishments. I recommend this book to hockey fans and even those who aren't into hockey at all.

This book is so much fun. The author gets into Mr. Gretzky's life and shows the reader what he is all about. This amazing player is also an amazing man! The author's excitment for the subject shows clearly on the pages of this book.
