Why read it?

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

The novelization of the 1978 movie (remade in 2010) is howlingly hilarious. The author has no understanding of how skating works - either competitively or, you know, physics. That’s what makes it such compelling reading. Also, in the movie, the characters tend to mumble. It helps to have read the book first to have a vague clue of what they’re saying.

From Alina's list on figure skating and it’s scandals.
