Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I received Don Cherry's first book a couple of years ago as a gift and totally loved it! I couldn't put it down and found it easy to read and highly entertaining. When I heard that Don had released a followup book, I just had to have it. This 2nd book by Cherry lived up to my expectations and I found it every bit as entertaining and fun to read as his first book. Now, if you know Don from watching him on Coaches Corner on Hockey Night in Canada, then you know how he speaks/talks. His books are written exactly how he speaks. He actually states in his first book that he wanted his book(s) to make it seem as though you were listening to him tell his stores over a couple of "pops". So, if you are a card carrying member of the grammar police then this book is certainly not for you. Also, if you happen to be one of those people who worship political correctness, then you will also not enjoy this book and probably will just end up stressed and with your blood boiling. However, if you just enjoy reading/hearing stories about hockey from all eras, about various teams and players, with locations scattered throughout Canada and the United States, then this book is for you! If you are a hockey fan then you will find these stories from Don Cherry to be funny at times, serious at others, with some sadness scattered here and there. I highly recommend both of Don Cherry's books, but would suggest reading the first book before reading this one as it helps set the tone for the second book. A big Don Cherry thumbs up for sure!

You thought you'd read them all, did you? Well, you haven't.Simultaneously loved and loathed, Don Cherry is one of the most talkative and talked-about personalities in hockey today. His more than twenty-five years as a player and coach have informed his popular Hockey Night in Canada commentary segment, "Coach's Corner." And now he's got more stories to share.In Don Cherry's Hockey Stories, Part 2, Grapes tells us about the 2010 Stanley Cup, relays the lessons he's learned both on and off the ice, and takes us inside hockey's mythical players' "code." You'll encounter familiar names from the game and find out who this idol looks up to. You'll travel back in time to Cherry's days playing in the minor leagues. You'll share his experiences of being named Coach of the Year in the NHL and in the AHL. And you'll hear from his kids about what it was like growing up with a dad like Don..Don Cherry tells it like it is, for better or for worse. You won't be disappointed.P.S. Don wants you to know it's a book the whole family can enjoy.
