Eu terminei-o em uma noite. As you follow Jones’ hockey career, you are treated to some interesting stories (such as his connection to Clyde Petkovich) and some odd facts. For example:

Jonesy has its serious moments as well. In the introduction, Keith discusses the death of his older brother Greig for the first time throughout his hockey career and how the experience gave him strength and a human quality he previously lacked. The book ends with an ultimate touching and tear-jerking account of why John Poor and his Keith Jones Capitals jersey was the richest man in the rink.

Although the book has a few issues, such as the over use of the term “cup of coffee” when referring to a brief stint playing in the NHL, it should not dissuade you from picking up a copy and enjoying the insights.

Also, be sure to check out Off Wing Opinion as Eric McErlain has been posting some excerpts from the book and has part one of his interview with Keith.
