A review by jamies_shelves
The Boys of Winter: The Untold Story of a Coach, a Dream, and the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team by Wayne Coffey
informative
4.0
I was not alive during the 1980 Olympics, but Miracle is one of my all time favorite movies! And yes, I cried in the book when they won and said do you believe in miracles. Just like I cry every time I watch the movie, no matter how many times I've seen it. However, in the book I also cried when they won gold!
I loved the extra insight this book gave to the players on the team and their lives before and after the games.
I also really loved the glimpses we got about the Soviet players and how some of the US and USSR players were actually friends/became friends later in life.
I really enjoyed the way this book was divided into the periods of the game, though I wish it had a more distinct division about which player it was talking about. Though I did listen on audio, so it's possible the physical book did.
