47 - Finnie Walsh, by Steven Galloway, 165 pages, Raincoast Books, 2000
WHY I PICKED IT: Rereading one of my favourites
ELAPSED TIME: <1 day
RATING: Required Reading
As a re-read, it's not a contender for the Hassan Book of 2011... but it's still one of my favourite books. Telling the story of a young boy growing up in a mill town in rural Canada. Telling the tale of his family (including his Dad who lost an arm at the mill, his clairvoyant younger sister), his best friend (Finnie Walsh), and their experience learning to play hockey.
Hockey and friendship; what else is really important?
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!
