5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Full Spectrum, August 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Full Spectrum: The Complete History of the Philadelphia Flyers (Special Feature: New Beginnings: The 1996-97 Season) (Hardcover)

I have read hundreds of hockey books in my life, and no book comes close to Full Spectrum. It is the ultimate book for any Philadelphia Flyers fan anywhere, at any time. Even if your not a Flyers fan or even a hockey fan, you will enjoy this book. From the beginning of the NHL's most succsful expansion team to the 2 Stanley Cups in the mid-70s to the 35 game unbeaten streak in 1980 to the sad death of star goalie Pelle Lindbergh to the firing of Bob Clarke in 1990 to the long story of the Eric Lindros trade to the trade for John LeClair and Eric Desjardins in 1995. The book also includes a brief story of the 1996-97 season, the first one at the Core States (now First Union)Center. This book is the best Flyers book around and is my favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Review of Full Spectrum, March 7, 2000

This review is from: Full Spectrum: The Complete History of the Philadelphia Flyers (Special Feature: New Beginnings: The 1996-97 Season) (Hardcover)

I totally enjoyed this book, it's ideal for a newbie Flyers Fan as well as a seasoned veteran who was with them through thick and thin; like the 1974 and 1975 Stanley Cup years, the six year playoff drought, the Pelle Lindberg accident, et al. I would recommend this book to anyone.
