Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-11 00:00:00 Jeremy Bean A follow-up to Wilkins' 1989 book After the Applause, this book continues the theme of interviewing retired hockey players and their wives about how they managed the transition from hockey stardom to retirement and beyond. All very interesting chapters, though the one about Randy Gregg, the only player on the NHL to have a medical degree while playing, was especially fascinating. The players chronicled played in the 60s, 70s and early 80s. Very interesting read.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-09-27 00:00:00 Albert Baur This was not what I expected at all. It is a rambling autobiographical story about the author�s travels in the Middle East as she searches for some kind of meaning to life. I found it difficult to follow and once finished, I still wasn�t sure of the point she was trying to make.
