What a great book!!

In the book Playing with fire the author let Theo flury use his own words. When Theo was talking and he swore the author would write it down. I think that there is swearing in this book it gets younger reads reading this book because they can read a book in school with swear words. The author wrote what got told to him by Theo. "okay, fuck it, here I go. well, that is where i was at two o'clock that morning. I was ready to jump" page 282
 Some authors would not put swear words and bad language in a book. I think Theo said what he said in this book to scare the young reads from what he did when he was playing hockey Drinking, gambling, cheating, drug use, and thinking suicidal thoughts. If the author never kept the swear words and the language he used then the book may of had a different view on it because it would still be Theo's story but it would not be in his words. Some parts of the book where he talked about hockey sense and all the players and the teams he played for I just skimmed over because i lost interest reading those parts. I never played hockey or watched hockey so I don't know even the common players on the teams. So if i knew the players and wanted to know where he played and when those parts would of made more sense to me.  I wish there would be a little more about him maybe another book about his life today because i really liked this book.
