da bomb" gretzky"
I thought this book was sweet.I liked it because it told me about his life and how he would play hockey with kids twice his age and still get goals.It said how he would win Stanley Cups and Art Ross trophys(a highest goalscorer of the year).Ialso liked it because it wasn't very long.

Thie was a great book about the greatest player in hockey!
This book was very good. It told about Wayne Gretzkys life, his stats and how great he really was. Thats why his nick name is the Great One. He set more than 61 records and has set untouchable ones. This is one of the best sport books ever made.

Good Story
A fun book to read, and one which will be shared with my boys when they grow older.

GREATEST AUTOBIOGRAPHY EVER!
I really liked this book, part of the reason for me liking it is that i like hockey a lot and i am a hockey fan. It was cool to learn about some of the history of one of the greatest players ever. the best part about this book was when wayne wrote about his childhood and his roots as a hockey player, it was also good when he talked about his carrer with the edmonton oilers and his four stanley cup championships and all of the art ross trophysand hart tropheys he won for all the years he was an MVP and leading scorer. However i thought that i got very boring towards the end of the book when he started talking about his marriage and his friends and other hockey players. But i liked the book and i learned a lot about hockey and the history of great players

Good Book
Rick Reilly's autobiography on Wayne Gretzky is a life long story about the Gretzky family and Wayne's career. Gretzky tells about his life growing up, his career with the Edmonton Oilers, and how he captained them to four Stanley Cups. His disappointing trade to the Los Angeles Kings, the "deal of the century" for $15 million is also described. Reilly talks about Gretzky's records, the all-time NHL point scorer and assist maker.
The negatives about this book are if you do not like hockey or Wayne Gretzky you probably wont like it. I liked how Rick Reilly wrote about the first Stanley Cup. He had great detail and it really got me into the book. Gretzky handles a hockey stick and puck unlike anyone in the history of the game. This book was very interesting to me, but kind of boring when he talks about all of his friends and other hockey players. I would probably buy this book if I had never read it.

My Favorite Autobiography of All Time
What I enjoyed the most about this book was the character of Wayne Gretzky. I think that he is very diplomatic and has an inborn sense of fairness and his story of betrayal and how he acknowledged the good things he acquired from the person shows his true character. He is very honest about life and his ability to balance the good and the bad things in life was truly amazing to me. Even if you aren't a hockey fan this book is a must read. If you have a teenager I would highly recommend this reading as it is based on the reality of a man who was born with a gift that he used but does not deny the sacrifices that he had to make to get there. In these times it is critical for youth to understand integrity counts and this is truly a man of integrity. It covers family and devotion to family for which he clearly explains if it hadn't been for the sacrifices of his father he could have never achieved his goal. Last, I also admire his stating how parents should not force a child into such a career, it must be in their heart for them to do it and he is very honest and forthright in a matter of what lies ahead should any child pursue such a career as this.

a GREATzky book
i started to read this book for a school project. i chose to do it on wayne gretzkym since i love hockey, i mean it is like my life, but there were so many gretzky books to choose from, so i chose to read the autobiography, i'm glad i chose this book, it is just about the best book i have ever read, it has a lot of good information and by reading this book i learned a lot of new information that you could only find out if you knew wayne gretzky personally. he opens it up and gives you a good insight on what it was like playing professional at such a young age. not only is the book filled with facts and excellent photos, but you also have a sense of his feelings from reading the book, it takes you back in time and i would definitely recommend this book to anybody ...

Product Description
The inspiring story of an ordinary man who, from humble beginnings and against the odds of a devastating illness, has led—is leading—an extraordinary life.

To many people, Walter Gretzky is the ultimate dad, the father of the Great One, Wayne Gretzky, and the first inspired coach to a talented young boy. Walter’s major insight into hockey—that a player should “go where the puck is going”—guided Wayne’s brilliant style, and Wayne himself has said about his talent: “It’s God-given. It’s Wally-given.” It’s safe to say that no other famous hockey player’s father is held in such high esteem, and that Walter Gretzky has carved out this singular niche in his own right.

Now, for the first time, Walter tells at length the story of his life, about growing up on a small family farm, about meeting and marrying Phyllis, about raising four boys and a girl in a modest home in Brantford on the salary of a telephone repairman, about hanging onto his modesty and values when the comet of talent and celebrity hit.

Walter also talks about the process of recovering from a stroke that came close to killing him ten years ago. Through his own grit and determination, and with the help of dedicated therapists and doctors, his family and friends, Walter battled back from an aneurysm that left him with many cognitive difficulties and destroyed a decade of memories—including his recollection of the death of his mother and almost all of Wayne’s NHL triumphs of the eighties.

As many of the people who have encountered Walter even briefly will testify, he is very charismatic, and it’s his extraordinary compassion, which has flourished since his stroke, that makes him so compelling. Yes, he struggles with some limitations, but he has also discovered a calling in helping others. All of his many public speaking engagements are for charity, and this book would not exist were it not for Walter’s role as the official spokesperson for Canada’s Heart and Stroke Foundation. The only way he would ever agree to talk about himself at such length was in the hope that his experience with stroke would be useful to other people. “Every second of every day is important to me,” he writes, “and I only hope that if telling my story can help even one person, then all of this will be worth it. And remember, there is life after stroke…look at me!” ... Read more
