As a die hard hockey fan I always have been a fan of Duthie. Received this book as a Christmas present and I am glad I did...very entertaining and witty...made me laugh out loud numerous times! Going to have to re-read it to get me through this NHL lockout!

James is an amazing writer. He gets to the heart of the issue so quickly, and with just the right amount of humor. You just can't put this book down. All of his stories are short and sweet. If you don't like one, move on to the next, because I know, you'll love it. Enjoy...I really did.

I don't watch TSN that much, but a couple of friends recommended this book to me, and it is fantastic. James Duthie's columns are mostly hilarious, and yet sometimes incredibly poignant and touching. Diehard Sports fans (like my husband) will love it, but it is equally entertaining for casual fans like me, as he writes a great deal about how sports relates to parenthood, and life in general. This is my favourite book by far of the year. AMAZING!

I bought this because I like James Duthie on TSN, however, it is full of his past columns and personally I don't find him all the funny. He tries too hard to get a laugh and after a while it wears thin.
