as I was mid-way through this book, there were only two thoughts going on in my mind - 1. this guy is human/normal like us with all frailties/insecurities 2. and gosh what extremes are humanly possible!!... the triumph of human spirit! very humbling. very inspiring.

Inspirational read

Customer Rating:

A page-turner like no other, once I started it, I couldn't stop. Without a doubt, Lance is one of kind athlete, but that's not the point. The early achievements, the cancer battle, the return to the sport - it's an amazing story of the resilience of the human spirit, both on the account of people around him, and Lance himself. It's a gem of a book and an inspirational read, it reminded me of what we are all capable off.

Inspiring!

Customer Rating:

I picked this book with trepidity. Having read scores of biographies from succesful sportspersons, I did not expect this one to be any different. They struggle, they compete, they succeed. I started reading this purely based my wife's strongly recommended this. And it just did move me completely! Once I started reading, there was no looking back. This is gripping cover-covcer. I guess the cycle races are such. We get so involved in the sport. Whern Lance talks about Cancer, it is not in absurd medical terms or over-simplification. He did carry me long - thtough his journry. I could vicariusly experience being with him in the ward in Idianopolis or at the Finish line of Tour De France. A narrative style that takes the audience at a leisurely pace, keeping the reder hooked and attached to the strory. Truly inspirational. A day after I finished the book, today, I am shaving my head for a cause - cancer patients!

We learn something every day

Customer Rating:

I had a meeting with VP in the company and as I got in his office you can sense he was a Lance fans. I'm not! Maybe for his way to act that he so well describe in his book! As an ex-athlete my self I could not hide my opinion about Lance. It was a nice and healthy conversation. Few weeks later I had another meeting with the same VP and as I walk in to his office he gave me this book as a present, knowing I'm an avid reader. I read it during the long flight back home! Great inspiring book! Never did read a sportsman biography but this one is worth each single word. You learn something new every day! I guess I learn something more about a great individual and athlete! PS - I have a colleague that is fighting a similar battle and I gave the book to him because sometime other peoples words are better then your.
