A Guy Like Me: The John Scott Story by Brian Cazeneuve, John Scott
4.0
The second half of the book was much stronger than the first half (at least in part because I knew all the players), but it was an interesting perspective on youth hockey and Canada, so I can't say I didn't like every part of this book.
It suffers from some characteristic weaknesses that are kind of specific to ghostwritten autobiographies. Since it's mostly interview to dictation it feels very up close and personal, but you also don't get a lot of stories that tie together and it's certainly not the very best writing all around.
Even with that, I absolutely cried at the end, and I found myself texting friends about little parts that I loved. Well worth reading.
