I am finishing the book now. Honestly, it was below my expectations for it. As much as I always hated listening to Feaster speaking meaningless platitudes, I always loved listening to Burke speak - always straightforward, always to the point and always without mincing words. The book is definitely in those same lines, but I almost felt he's trying to prove something to somebody in it. Maybe some old unresolved grudges? Yeah, a few good hockey stories were juicy, but too much "my way or high way", too many repetitions, too much of "my three principles and I have a Harvard law degree" stuff, which I found boring about half-way into the book. It was not nearly as entertaining as I was anticipating. Sean Avery's book was way more fun to read. Meh, $29...
