“A fun read – bite sized pieces that can read in or out of order. The book is laid out with a great number of small sections which are easy to read. You can jump around throughout the pages, dotted with the who’s who of Canadian figure skating. I enjoyed Toller quotes – brought the man to life and gave personal glimpses. Yes, a Canadian icon that should be celebrated – sister has portrayed a skating legend, and true artist in a way that maybe only a sister can. A real collaboration from the world of skating and visual arts.”

“An Amazing Biography What an exquisite, gorgeously appointed book! I found it to be a real page turner: It was magic to see Toller emerging through the eyes of many famous contributors from skating, art, fashion, design, the media and theatre – not to mention from his quirky friends. As each story of Toller unfolded, I discovered more about this remarkable, complex person, whose singular name reflected who he was, One of a Kind. I loved how he adopted San Miguel, Mexico, and how its people adopted him. I enthusiastically recommend this best seller. It’s a great read with beautiful graphics. His sister, Phillippa, can be proud of her amazing effort to ensure that Toller’s legacy as a great Canadian and an icon in the skating and art worlds is forever enshrined.”
“Five Stars!”
“Unique look at a unique man the book is visually stunning with professional photos, home snaps and examples of Toller’s own artistic output throughout. The story of a remarkable – in every sense life is told through by the widest variety of people’s voices – vignettes from friends, colleagues (eg. Chita Rivera on how she saw him and knew she had to meet and perform with him), his sister (the author/originator), employees, trainers and more. He died at 65, much too young, but boy did he live a life in those years.”
