The highly anticipated sequel to "The Stereoypical Freaks" and the 2nd book in the "Forever Friends" Trilogy, this is "The Hockey Saint"
Twenty-one year old Jeremiah Jacobson is the world's best hockey player, but he wasn't prepared for the frenzy and scrutiny that came with that title. Tom Leonard is an average college sophomore... just a guy trying to find his place in the world as he sorts through issues that are both very real and seemingly insurmountable.
Through a chance meeting, these two strike up an unlikely friendship. Their bond is tested when Tom discovers that his idol isn't as perfect up close as he seems from afar. With Jeremiah living a little too much in the moment and with his past catching up to him, will Tom be able to help him before it's too late?
Review:
This is the first ever graphic novel I have read and it won’t
be my last. I really loved the details in each illustration and I found the
story of Tom to be a great read. The author really captures the characters and
the problems with his illustrations. I definitely recommend this graphic novel
to anyone who loves them and for first time readers like myself. 4/5 Bloody
Fangs
