It took me a long time to read this book because I don't care for sports. The first half of the book is just hockey and how the people of the town have made hockey their lives and I just could not get into it at all. I put it down once at 33% for many months and then again at 50% and then I finally picked it up and finished it. I love Bakman's other books that I have read, but the excessive sports focus in this one was just not interesting to me. It is a good book and I think that people who do like sports probably will enjoy it more than I did. The book, however, really isn't about hockey, it is about rape and how sports fans, among others, tend to blame the victim. It is a well written story.
