Why read it?

1 author picked Zero Tollerance as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It was one of Toller Cranston's performances that first inspired me to take up figure skating.

Toller was never afraid to speak his mind, shake the tree or let the truth get in the way of a good story... and this biography is resplendent with great stories, heart, and humour.
