Why read it?

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

Brennan covered multiple different sports before turning her focus to figure skating. She came not as a fan, but as a reporter, which made Inside Edge a grittier and less insular take than usual. Yes, there are some technical and factual mistakes, as well as some wild leaps of logic. But this is the tough love book figure skating - and its fans - needed.

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