4.0 out of 5 stars EUROPEAN FAN LIKES IT, Dec 4 2002
This review is from: Kings of the Ice: A History of World Hockey (Hardcover)
You know i really liked this book just because of that its nice to see great european players past and present in this book. unlike other books where it's just nhl players, this book has both nhl players and european players included. As a international hockey historian i really enjoyed it. gretzky-kharlamov-nedomansky-salming and many other great players are in this book. the price is my only problem with the book, it cost some bucks.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a pleasure, Oct 29 2002
This review is from: Kings of the Ice: A History of World Hockey (Hardcover)
The best hockey book I’ve ever seen!!!

A friend of mine showed me this book.. What a pleasure!!!
I was so impressed. Not only by its appearance, but also by the quality and amount of information compiled. Not to mention unique photos. Then I saw a review of it on the Amazon.ca by
Mr. Peter Adler with a title “Do not waste your money”. Why ?! wondered. He said he reviewed it also for ‘The Edmonton Journal’.
(Why should he review it twice ?) So I surfed the archives of this journal and found an awkward style of a review using inadequate words such as : “extremely sloppy”, “rubbish”, “flop”, “fatal flaw” etc. What did he found in the 1020 pages of the book ? - May be a misspelled player name and two wrong dates???… Give me a break. He says : “Authors and editors should be ashamed of themselves”.Is it also because it is "beautifull" too?? I say: shame on you Mr. Adler. Your style reflects your character.And I ask - WHAT IS HIS HIDDEN AGENDA ??

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not waste your money, Oct 21 2002

Peter Adler (Edmonton, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kings of the Ice: A History of World Hockey (Hardcover)
I read this book because I had to: I was reviewing it for The Edmonton Journal. My conclusion is simple and straightforward: while beautiful, this book is so filled with glaring mistakes, howlers and omissions, its authors and editors should be ashamed of themselves. In fact, if it were possible, I would give this volume no stars at all: the first thing a book on history must have is its facts right.
