Not the most riveting ice skating bio I've ever read, but probably awesome for his biggest fans. I kinda wish he would do another one, as this one is more than 20 years old. I'd like to read about his time as a judge on Dancing on Ice.

I wouldn't argue that this is the best book, quality-wise, but as a skating fan in general and a Robin Cousins fan in particular, I found it quite fascinating.

"The authorized biography." Includes some line drawings by Cousins. Strong emphasis on the professional career, including ice shows, theatre, movie work on "The Cutting Edge". Includes comparisons with Cranston and Curry.
