Summary: Finished in three days
Review: Did you ever stay up late at night - just to finish a great book. ? Well ; that is what I did with Lance Armstrongs book. Truly a good book - well written and inspiring. Some biographies are not that great, as they describe people just leading their "famous" life, or just "doing their job". But this book is different ; it is the hardship, real life experience,and the extra efforts by Lance that make his book special. You can relate to this guy and his experiences. When I was reading this book, the local Texas paper announced that the little girl (cancer patient and Lance friend) mentioned in the book had lost the battle with cancer. I did put the news article inside the book, to remind myself what really matters in life. Since the book was written Lance also won the 2000 Tour de France - so Lance we need an another book !!

Summary: LAUGHS AND TEARS JUXTAPOSED
Review: This is one of the most talked about books on the scene today and for good reason. You learn a lot about bicycle racing which subject I was most ignorant and...it is interesting. You learn a lot about intestinal fortitude, focusing, planning and goal setting; and you learn about facing and beating a killer like cancer and what you have to go through to beat it. A number of times throughout the book tears dripped down my face sometimes in sadness and sometimes in joy. A book to treasure and help one appreciate their fellow human beings.

Summary: A Real Survivor
Review: What an inspirational book! It proves that your life isn't that bad after all and that you can overcome some of the biggest hurdles of a lifetime. Well written and even with pictures for a personal touch, I admit I shedded a tear or two. Everyone should read this book.

Summary: Lance Armstrong a true hero!
Review: A very good book if you can get by the profanity. It never ceases to amaze me how a perfectly good book can be degraded by a limited vocabulary. I would have rated this book a 5 star if it were not for the language used. Overall an excellent book. Easy to read and very inspirational story of a true hero who beat the odds.

Summary: It IS about the bike - AND A LOT MORE!!!
Review: Great title! It's about the bike. It's about cancer. Recovery. Desire. Determination. It's about pain and suffering. Lance went through a hell of a lot and came out of it a champion. It's a book that must be read. To see a young man, an arrogant young man learn that he isn't indestructible is a learning experience not only for Lance but for the reader, because there are a lot of people out there who think that they are going to live forever. This book allows the reader to reflect on his/her life. It shows the importance of relationships. The importance of being a good (make that excellent)single parent as Lance's mother was in bringing him up. I cannot say enough about it. Read it! I just finished it and plan to read it again now!

Summary: A Hard Book to Put Down!
Review: I finished this book easily in two days. It's very easy to ready, and flows very well. The only thing I didn't like about the book is that Lance sometimes uses phrases that make him seem like a teen-ager.

Summary: How'd you like them apples!
Review: If you've never been profoundly effected by a book, then you have to read Lance Armstrong's story. Yes, it gives you great insight into the cycling world, but even moreso, the book opens your eyes to the physical effects of cancer and how to conquer them emotionally. Lance doesn't hide any details of his diagnosis and treatment but chooses instead to lay them all out for everyone to see. His experience has made it easier for men to freely talk about testicular cancer and to take the early steps to prevent its progression. I am not an avid cyclist or a cancer survivor, but Lance's book read so well (I finished it in 2 days) that I could totally relate to him. I enjoyed every page and even laughed and cried as I read. I have never rated a book on Amazon before, but I was so moved by this story that I couldn't help myself. I even contributed to the Lance Armstrong Foundation today through Lance's web site in order to help other cancer survivors. You can help, too. It's a good cause, and you never know.. one day you might need and appreciate such a donation.

Summary: Great bio!
Review: Now that he's won the Tour de France twice, more people are looking at Lance Armstrong and with good reason. This book tells the story of the kid with the rough family background and the mother who wouldn't give up and how he became a world-famous athlete, only to nearly lose it all when cancer began taking over his body. Lance and Sally Jenkins write an accessible story of growing up and dealing with the big C. The medical aspects of this book are never hidden or shadowed and the retelling of Lance's victory at the Tour de France is exciting, although we already know how it ended. This is a great biography and a great story.

Summary: wonderful book
Review: This book is wonderful. Not only does it take you step by step with how Lance dealt with cancer, it takes you step by step into the competition to the Tour De France. I couldn't put the book down. It teaches you never to quit and to go after your dreams.
