A good story I knew nothing about

Revisado: 05-16-22

Interesting to here what has changed and what hasn't in women's sports over the decades. Worth your time even if you don't follow the sport now.

Love the writing style

Revisado: 06-09-21

Dryden has some great quotes. i love his writing style. At the end we flash forward to 2003 but virtually all of this classic is still relevant and fundamental to the game today.

Quite a story

Revisado: 05-20-21

I downloaded this more as filler since it was cheap and short and I expected it to be funny. It was, but it was a lot more than that. Trevor Noah got up to all kinds of things and was in all kinds of circumstances as Apartheid came to an end in South Africa. Hearing him narrate the tale himself adds a lot to this story as well. Well worth your time.

Worth your time if you enjoyed the mini series but

Revisado: 05-14-21

The best part of the mini series were the interspersed stories told by the real soldiers each episode. This has some of that, but it isn't quite the same in the book. That's the only downside and it's good to hear the extra details of the book as well.

Women's hockey history & struggles along the way

Revisado: 02-10-21

This answered a lot of questions I had and things I never thought to ask. History, battles, acceptance and finding the positives and accomplishments along the way. Sami Jo helped build the game in ways I never realized.

Very Pro Pats but that's probably what you want

Revisado: 12-24-20

This book takes us from the early days of Kraft as he positions himself to acquire the team to the 2018 season's 6th championship. There were a lot of early details I didn't know or forgot. Some of the Kraft stuff in particular seems like he wrote it to talk about all his accomplishments that don't always have much to do with the team. They went easy on Hernandez but at least acknowledged each of the ugly topics. It's great to relive the glory days and hear the back story conversations that happened behind the scenes.

A different take on parks

Revisado: 11-24-20

As someone who has been to many of these parks it's interesting how many places he goes and fun facts he comes up with that I knew nothing about. It never occurred to me that Great Sand Dunes was so quiet when I was there. It makes me want to go back to places I've been as well as finish my park list.

Similar to the movie but with more detail

Revisado: 10-23-20

Good narration. A dizzying array of struggles with good insight to what Strayed was thinking as she marched unprepared into the wild. It differs from the book with detail, financial hardships and the friends she made along the way. It gives the reader much more insight of how she earned the name "queen of the PCT."
