Jackson Haines: The Skating King by Ryan Stevens

medium-paced

3.5

An interesting character and there were lots of moments that were fleshed out and really evocative of the man and the era, but in between were basically lists of dates and locations which I don’t think added much to the story and could maybe have been an appendix or timeline or something else other than part of the narrative. Jackson Haines seems like quite the character and he clearly had a huge impact on figure skating so if you like history and figure skating (and beat old pictures) then check this one out.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
