A disarmingly honest view of a storied career in Canadian sports broadcasting. Will likely appeal to hockey fans, particularly those who share Shannon’s feelings for Hockey Night in Canada.
A young adult plot set in a very gritty and brutal locale interspersed with news clips detailing the political turmoil of homelessness in Los Angeles and very unrealistic teenage dialog make this a confusing addition to Shannon's (Terminal Island; Concrete River) well-received neonoir series. Shannon's anger and frustration with the city's management of poverty and homelessness are clearly the point of this book, and it unfortunately overshadows the plot. Not recommended.
