More About This Book

Overview

Now in trade paper! In Playing with Fire, Theo Fleury takes us behind the bench during his glorious days as an NHL player, and talks about growing up devastatingly poor and in chaos at home. Dark personal issues began to surface and drinking, drugs, gambling and girls ultimately derailed his Hall of Fame-calibre career. Fleury shares all in this raw, captivating and honest look at the previously untold story of one of our game's greatest heroes.

    Playing With Fire....

    This is one of the best memoirs I've ever read. Actually, it's one of the best books I've ever read. I've read a lot of memoirs and biographies, and this one is brutally honest -- heartbreakingly so.

    Theo Fleury's book contains many stories. It's the story of a Canadian who grew up poor on the prairies and clung to his dream like a lifeline. It's a story of a broken, lonely childhood plagued by demons and abuse. It's a story about the drive to be the best at a particular sport. It's a story of addiction to booze, drugs, and sex. It's a story of both dizzying success and financial failure. But most of all, it's a story about what it means to be human and what it's like to live in constant pain...and to find relief in things that only make matters worse.

    Anyone who loves hockey (especially the Calgary Flames) will love this book. Ditto anyone who's been abused or anyone who struggles (or struggled) with substance abuse and suicidal impulses. Theo has written a book for both sports fans and those who don't care about sports. His story is painful, but it deserves to be heard. And hopefully it will help anyone who struggles with the same issues that affected him.

    Thank you, Theo, for writing this book.

    tough life

    Overall a good book most especially if you grew up watching and loving hockey, which I did not, but I still enjoyed the book. Theo had a hard life and it's great that he is able to share his life with us. I also love most autobiographical books, I find people and their lives amazing. I would recommend this book if you know about Theo or about hockey for it to hold your interest.

    A must for ice hockey enthusiasts

    My son who lives in the UK wanted this tome. I sent it to him. His spouse tells me that he couldn't put the book down. My rating are based on her reading of his reading and I should expect that readers will feel well read after reading this readable book. Go Rangers

    Never back down

    Wow-what else can I say. Granted most of my friends (actually scratch that all of my friends) will say I'm the biggest Theo Fleury fan they know, but this book def ranks up there with my favorites of all time. Theo holds nothing back starting page 1 and pours his heart and soul into the reader no different then when he used to play the game as well as his partying and love of all life. People of all backgrounds can learn something from this book as it goes beyond sports and the dark sides we have to our souls, and the ultimate journey we undergo to find ourselves. Theo we love u and thanks for sharing!
