I haven’t had a lot of experience with reading books. However, I know this book will always be in my top 5. How the author uses everyone in the town and the town itself as a important characters is amazing. How you see everyone’s point of vein and how they are reacting to the big plot makes you very emotional, but you also can see where everyone is coming from, and why the think that way. You also don’t have to know a lot about hockey to know what is happening.
