Crossroads: My Story of Tragedy and Resilience as a Humboldt Bronco by Kaleb Dahlgren
3.0
3.5 stars. I didn’t love the audio on this one. I think there was a lot of disconnect between the emotion in the book with the narrator reading it since it wasn’t the author narrating it. (This is a pet peeve of mine with biographies and I’m curious to know why Dahlgreen didn’t narrate this himself).
The first half of the book was somewhat tedious as it was all about Dahlgreen’s life leading up to the devastating bus accident of the Humboldt Broncos. An accident I’m sure most of us remember: Sticks out for Humboldt. The second half focuses on the aftermath of the accident but Dalhgreen can’t actually remember any of it. His is no doubt an inspiring story and it was interesting to read about how he handled his grief (which I think is rare for most people who survive an accident like he did) as it didn’t consume him.
Considering I’m not a hockey fan, I still enjoyed this book, but I would not recommend listening to it on audio.
