3.0
Although it contains quite a bit of information, there is a lot of repetition within the book itself. It seemed like, at times, the Kevin Allen was trying to hit a certain number of words. Repeated stats over and over and over and over, I think I read the same stat about the 1926 season 4-5 times at different points in the book. It really made the book start to drag on. I love the Wings, but by the end I was feeling very much "is this over yet?!"
There are grey excerpts through out the book that contain extended stats or factoids that were neat, but in some cases it seems like Allen had a factoid that he couldn't fit else where, and so he just slapped it into the middle of a random chapter and called it a day. A perfect example of this is a little blurb about Justin Abdelkader in the middle of the chapter about Guyle Fielder. What is that even doing there?
Even though packed with fascinating information, the book leaves much to be desired in terms of style and presentation.
