Thunder and Lightning : My No - B. S. Hockey Memoir

6.28 x 1.12 x 9.29 inches- An extremely tight First Edition- First Printing. " Thunder and Lightning: A No B.S. Hockey Memoir truly lives up to its name, and so much more. Readers of this book will feel like they are listening to the Hall of Famer himself tell his story. The way Phil Esposito writes, it doesn't even feel like a book and it reads like you're being spoken to. Thunder and Lightning go into every part of Phil's life that will keep you hooked for hours. Not only does he talk about his life growing up, and of course what it was like to play in the NHL, but he tells all of his crazy stories and things he's done, that you couldn't hear anywhere else. Personally, my favorite story was when he talked about getting injured and having to go to the hospital during a game when he played with Boston. Afterward, the rest of his teammates wanted to go out and party so they came to the hospital, distracted the employees, and carried Phil in his hospital bed to the party. The hospital ended up thinking he was kidnapped. And that's just one of the great stories that you can read about. Another thing about Phil that makes this book great is his honesty. He doesn't care what you or anyone else thinks of him, if he's got something to say he's going to say it. This comes up time and time again in the book. Because of this, he spills the dirt on everyone, including himself, giving a much more personal and informative feel to the book. Without a doubt, anyone who is a fan of hockey, the Tampa Bay Lightning (you also get to hear about how he founded the team), or the Hall of Famer himself will enjoy this book."-Joshua
