Has anyone else read this book, wow just got it for xmas and have read maybe a 1/3 of it in the last 2 days...what a great book. Old Theo Fleury lived a very interesting life, a lot of ups and downs. To bad they never kept him on for this season after the great preseason he had. So if you have the book and read it what did you think?

U still gotta pay, this is apple we re talkin about. But it is cheaper, like 10-12 bucks i think. Im sure u could hunt it down somewhere online for free tho.
I bought it for my dad for Christmas, and when he finished it he gave it to me to read. I'm about half way through it. It's pretty interesting, I feel bad for the guy going through all the stuff he did. I wish I would have been in Cow town back in the day, sounds like he would have been fun to party with

Thats pretty typical with smaller guys, but yeah I know a guy that played a year in Juniors with him and he says the same thing. Thats must likely why he never really drink with team mates.

Boo-Hoo poor THEO. He pissed and snorted it all away. Instead of just thanking the Flames for letting him retire from the NHL with some dignity after he screwed up his career, he rips on them after they cut him. What an arsehole.

Well there were some definate good and bad parts to the book, allot of i'm this* and that.......but for all those who are down on a guy like Theo, and there are allot of guys out there with the same story, just a different road/ different trade ,lifestyle what have you....... you have to take your hat off to anyone who tells there story even if it isn't exactly the best of the truth......and if it helps someone make a better decision later on at some point then I guess it was worth the read or listen or what have you........I think if everyone were to tell there story we'd all recieve the good and bad comments, thats why most of us don't.
