RESPONSES
Body Check is not the best book I have ever read. It was not that good because it was supposed to have a lot more action in it than it did. It was more about people's personal lives. It did not really talk about hockey either; it just talked about what was going on. Body Check is about a hockey team that gets a new coach who is a big jerk. The new coach tries to get the old coach fired but nobody wants that. I think it would have been way better if there was more action. What if there was more action I think it would make it a better book.
