Rick Carpineollo does a fine job in giving us a personal glimpse of Ranger great Mark Messier. He deftly describes the determination, competitive spirit and innate talent of Messier...and along the way reveals the player's generous, caring, "genuine good guy" traits. Lots of on-the-ice action and amusing anecdotes make this book an enjoyable, easy read.
Well written! Keeps you interested and waiting to find out what happens next. Mr. Carpiniello has given the reader a lovely glimpse into the career of a wonderful athlete. As a hockey mom whose son greatly admires this superstar, I am grateful for a biography that celebrates the leader, the nice guy. In answer to "Horrible", who cares whom the athletes go out with and who doesn't assume that they do? Fill in the blanks or read Jackie Collins. On target to what the sport is about. The hard work, the dedication and the will to win! Well done!
Messier is the true hockey enigma, and this book reveals as much about him as we'll ever probably know. Filled with interesting anecdotes, I totally enjoyed it. The foreword by Brian Leetch is also a great read.
This is a must read for Messier fans and Ranger fans alike. It follows Messier's career and provides some insight on the trade that sent Mess to Vancouver. The foreward by Brian Leetch was very interesting.
THIS IS ABOUT MARK MESSIER FORMER NHL GREAT. THE BOOK COVERS THE CAREER OF MESSIER AND A BIT OF HIS PRIVATE LIFE. MOST OF THE BOOK IS ABOUT HIS CAREER WITH THE NEW YORK RANGERS AND HIS LEADERSHIP THAT HELP THEM FINALLY WIN A STANLEY CUP. THE BOOK IS NOT WRITTEN GREAT DETAIL BUT STILL IS INTERESTING AND MOVES ALONG. I FOUND SOME OF HIGHLIGHTS WERE HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH GRETZKY, HIS BURNING DESIRE TO WIN AND THE BIG EGO AND THE HIGH MAINTENANCE HE REQUIRES TO KEEP HIM HAPPY AND TO PLAY HARD. IT IS A NICE EASY READ AND IS ENTERTAINING. RECOMMENDED.
Great book by Rick Carpiniello on one of my all time favorite hockey players. Rick Carpiniello hits a homerun with Messier. It reads as good as his daily reviews of each Ranger game today. This book must be owned by every bonehead out there, and autographed by the Dragon Slayer himself. Well done Carp!!!
Pretty revealing book. I wish there could be a sequel that would discuss Messier years after he came back from Vancouver.
