I read the book Eleven Seconds it was a really good book. It was about Travis Roy’s life and how he grew up and what his goals were. In the book he told a story were he took his dads porches to hockey practice and parked it on a hill and when he got out it went down the hill and then fell into a ditch and messed up its body and got towed out. Also, he had pictures in his book two of them were when he was really small and was playing hockey. Some of his goals were that he wanted to go to a college a play on a really good team like a division 1 or 2. He talked about what his hospital room was like and how the doctor and nurses were. His window in his hospital room he said it was really small and he could see little snowflakes falling and could here the cars driving by. He was happy when he got out of the hospital and when he was driving back home when he was in town he saw all the signs that everyone put and a welcome home sign he was shocked that a lot of people where surrounding his all of his family was there
Fantasic review Stephen! his speech brought tears to my eyes, i can't imagin what his Book Eleven Seconds would do. i really want to read it...to bad i cant check it out of the library anymore.
ReplyDeleteNice job Stephen I think that Travis Roy is an inspirational person and his book was probably very good. I'm not a big fan of biography's or autobiography's or memoirs (for the most part) but it sonds like it might be worth reading.
