Eruzione's account of the game itself can't help being entertaining, but far more interesting are the details he embroiders around the edges. --The New York Times Book Review Buoyant, earnest...this heartwarming memoir will delight more than just hockey fans. --Publishers Weekly Eruzione adds an honest insider's view of the Miracle, which will appeal to hockey fans and admirers of sports autobiographies. --Library Journal The best part of the narrative is the you-are-there, blow-by-blow account of that Lake Placid game of 1980, told with verve and a sharp eye for the right detail, which served [Eruzione] well in a later career as a sports commentator. . . . Fans of Olympic hockey will delight in Eruzione's spirited memoir. --Kirkus Reviews
