Over too soon!

I loved reading about Manon and how she got as far as she did. I have a continuing argument with male friends that if little guys like Theo Fleury and Paul Kariya can play hockey, and be some of the best players in the NHL, so can women. My only problem with this book was that it ended too soon. I want to know more about Manon's career with the Atlanta Knights, and her struggle to get to the NHL. Sequel, anyone? Heck, I'd love to write the sequel...

Great book !

This a wonderful book. I've had the pleasure to talk with Manon about this book after reading it. She is even more charming in person.

Recommended for any female goalies!

Wonderful book! As a female hockey goalie and one of Manon's biggest fan, this book gave me a lot of answers to a lot of questions!

This book was extremely entertaining and insightful.

I am one of if not the biggest of lady Manon's fans. The book gave me answers to many questions I had wanted to ask her. I also learned quit alot from Manon about life, dreams, and my passion hockey. Manon is one of the most beautiful, and compassionate people in the world. I am just sorry the national hockey league did not give her a chance. She is and will continue to be one of greatest goaltenders in the world. I highly recommend her book.

This is my favorite book!!

I am one of Manon's biggest fans, so how could I not like this? It kept me turning pages and I was disapointed that it couln't have been a few pages longer. I felt like I knew Manon and the kind of life she lived, this was definitely a great book!!!
