This book is done in the format of a photo essay, which I really enjoyed. Brian Boitano delved into his life as a skater, what it took to move through the ranks, and struggles and triumphs that he achieved. I liked this book a lot, and learned quite a bit about Brian Boitano, who is not a skater that I recall watching. The photography in this book was beautiful. I have a similar photo essay style book from Sasha Cohen, and I am very much looking forward to it.
