Summary: A Strong Guy
Review: Lance Armstrong was a very strong and intelligent guy. He was a smart person and a bicycle rider. He never gives up for anything, even though he got sick, and he stood to fight with the disease. His cancer drove him crazy, and Lance beat it in his body. He was a cancer survivor , and he had a lot of energy to fight with it. Even though he knew it was a strong disease, he wasn't scared of it, and he believed someday he will be healthy again, ride the bicycle, and do activities he did before.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A heroic tale that will inspire anyone in a tough situation
Review: I think this book may have answers for an important question; why do desperate situations bring out the best in some people and what makes and supports a hero like Lance Armstrong?

Here's a book that gives a lot of insight and detail; medical details about the chemotherapy and surgery, the choice of in vitro fertilization for Lance's wife because the cancer therapy would mean that Lance could no longer father children, the grueling course of therapy and retraining. These are the physical details that could help someone else who is facing such a challenge.

There is also a lot about the support system and goals that Armstrong created for himself to help him through--a benefit bike ride, setting up a cancer foundation, a training schedule to keep him going, corporate sponsors who believed in him, and a goal, a tough but achievable goal of winning the Tour de France. Lance also had the support of his loving wife who was a key person in helping him through.

This is the stuff heroes are made from, and we can learn a lot from Lance Armstrong. Anyone who is facing challenges of any kind in their life can benefit from reading this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The book you want to read
Review: This book is the most enjoyable I ever read because it's about a famous biker and I never knew about him until I read it. He is a strong guy and when he was a boy he was adventurous with his training. And he is fighting cancer.So it's a very interesting story. You must read this book and you will learn more about the winner of the Tour de France.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: SIMPLY GOOD
Review: I can say many good things about this book, and write a list of reasons why you must read it, but I'm pretty sure that it's better if you find your own reasons. You won't be sorry to invest your time in it, you'll just enjoy it. What I can tell you about my personal experience reading Lance's narration "He's inspiration". He's a sample of human potential, how far a human being can go if he or she wants. Also he can teach you that waiting for things is not going to help you in life. He made me think not only what I'm doing for me as well as what I'm doing for others . Like him I want to change the world from my inside and I hope , I won't experience the same suffering that he did.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THE RIDE OF A HEART
Review: This experience is about our life with an illness, like cancer. It teaches us, how we have to fight when we get problems in our lives, but the most important thing it teaches us, is that, there's nothing in the all world we can't fight, when we got the strength to keep our life the way we want it. This book teach me that I have to continue fighting for my ideals and my hopes about life, and never give up when the obstacles stop you, during your live. Keep fighting, this is the beginning of the rest of our lives.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I reveled in reading Lance's story.
Review: I'm a student from NYC Technical College. I study English as a second language and in this semester our teacher picked this book. < It's not about the bike> By: Lance Armstrong. I think she made a good choice for the class because some times we read together, we shared ideas, and we enjoyed reading this book. My opinion about Lance is that he is a perfect example for others with any obstacles in their lives. Lance fought against his cancer and emerged with victory. He won his dreams because he won the Tour de France. He had a second chance in his life and he was approaching this opportunity. I want to see him racing his bike again in a competition. Maybe I will read his second book if he writes another and follow his new life with his wife and his son. I encourage others to read this book based on real life and how he won the fight: " Lance vs cancer ".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Thinking Faster and Slower
Review: I read this book.This book was interesting because Lance's life was like a race. He won many races When he was young, but the enemy, which is Cancer changed his life when he started fighting against it.At that time,the time his life was slower and also his thought towards life changed.Lance saw life in a different way after he won the race against Cancer.Finally he devoted himself to his community.The foundation"Ride for the Roses" is a special foundation to help people with Cancer.I think Lance followed one of the ten commandments" Love your neighbor like you love yourself."I recommend this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A world-class athlete vs. cancer illness
Review: I finished Lance's book "It's Not About the Bike". Lance has to tell us two sides of his life. One is the sports-man and another is the fighter-man. As cancer survivor he had to fight that illness, while he tries to race again. This illness affected him and he made changes in his life. But after he fought it, he turned into a man with a great family. -Life is beautiful, specialty when you have this things: parents, a fiance and children- you became part of human life.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A man with courage
Review: This book is an example for the people who have cancer. Lance explained it, in his book how he got a cure for his illness and the courage for reaching his goal as the best cyclist in the world. I admire Lance's temperament and tenacity to survive. How this disease changed him his style of life, but the most beautiful thing that happened to Lance was the birth of his son Luke. I enjoyed this story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Triumphant Cyclist
Review: When I started to read this book.I didn't believe a person who had brain surgery recovered like Lance Armstrong,but after I read this book,I'm convinced this will happen.I like his relationship with his mother.I think all we do with love can be positive like Lance's mother did.She gives courage and she never leave him alone,when he needs her support,she suffered but she never showed him.In my opinion the cancer was devasting to Lance but the cancer changed his life too.Also I like what Lance does to help other people who suffer like he suffered.I think he gives hope and good life lessons.
