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.
There was something so bold, expressive, and larger than life about his performances. Those qualities are all front and center in his biography Zero Tollerance.

From Ryan's list on figure skating biographies you'll ever read.
