Summary: Inspiration and hope for change.
Review: This is an excellent, heartfelt book by Lance Armstrong, arguably the best cyclist of our generation. I have followed cycling for many years going back to the success of Greg LeMond, but Lance Armstrong has definitely stood out. He admittedly was arrogant, rude, and stubborn, but almost losing his life to cancer completely changed him. It should be impressive to anyone to realize how dramatic it is for someone so close to death and so damaged by cancer therapy to dominate the most grueling sporting event in the world, the Tour de France. Lance should inspire many to fight against devastating diseases and circumstances, not only from this book but also from his cancer charity and his pure success. I admire him for revealing his weaknesses and troubled past to show how human he is and how genuine he is now with his life. His story is very touching, and I am glad that he and his wife have been able to have children together in spite of the cancer treatments. This book is a must read for anyone wanting to see just how strong the human spirit of endurance and survival is and the change it can bring to someone's life.

Summary: LANCE ARMSTRONG: IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BIKE
Review: I FOUND HIS STORY TO BE VERY TOUCHING AND ONE THAT IN A WAY I CAN RELATE TO. I HAVE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, AND ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING, I HAVE BEEN THROUGH MANY OF THE EMOTIONS EXPRESSED IN THE BOOK.

Summary: Why this book deserves 5 stars
Review: I have always been a fan of professional cycling overall, and Lance Armstrong personally. When I was called upon to choose a book to read for independant reading in high school, I chose this one. Not only was I satisified with my purchase, but I couldn't put it down. I finished it at two thirty that night.
Lance Armstrong not only had a story to tell, but he told it in a fantastic way. He didn't hold back on any of the details, and this sets him aside from all other sports autobiographies. At 2:30 am, I wanted to go biking or just give my parents a hug. That was of course not possible at that moment, but all the same, this book is a great read and I highly recommend it to all.

Summary: Pure inspiration
Review: I rate this book five stars even though the quality of the writing should put it at a three and a half or four, because of the extraordinarily inspirational quality of the subject matter. It is a real-life fairy tale. If it had been fiction, I would have scoffed at the author's unbelievable ending (three Tour de France victories). But the fact that it is real, and true, leaves the reader with a sense of wonderment and a renewed belief in the power of an indomitable spirit to conquer the impossible.This book is gripping in all its phases: pre-cancer, cancer treatment, post-cancer doldrums, and the comeback. And the sports aficionado will not be disappointed: it includes wonderful stage-to-stage accounts of the Tour victories. It is a quick read and can be read in a few days. The writing can be clichéd at times, and the tone has a tendency to get a bit self-congratulatory. However, it does not detract from the uplifting spirit of the book. I highly recommend it.

Summary: VERY quick read
Review: I didn't expect to finish this in a mere 24 hour time period and I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. I know virtually nothing about pro bike racing except that I've heard of Lance, obviously. Reading the book, you can just picture exactly what Lance is like. He reminds me of an irritating stubborn brother, but one you can't help but love and admire. It seems hard to imagine, but he explains how cancer was something POSITIVE that happened to him. You have to read the book to understand what he's talking about. The book has also made me more likely to watch the Tour de France next year. I never knew it's such a chess game and so grueling!

Summary: Remarkable story
Review: I don't read many sports books- -in fact, reading this book was a first for me. But my husband kept insisting, "You gotta read this book!" Finally, I picked it up and was hooked at once. Certainly, the story of cancer survivorship was very compelling, but I was surprised to find myself interested even in the sports aspects of the book. It was fascinating to read about an athlete's relationship with his body, or to learn that even super-star athletes sometimes look upon going to work as just another job that has to be done. This book is extremely well-written, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: A satisfactory account of the famed's life
Review: The title offers a satisfactory narration on Lance Armstrong's life, both as a young adult and as a cycling professional. This is not particularly inspiring, but I do get something after hearing how he was dealing with his crisis. Oliver Wyman, the man who reads the book in the audio edition, has done an excellent job. His reading vividly illustrates the emotion Lance has had during different stages of life.
