Summary: Awesome!!!
Review: This book was just awesome!! I happened to be reading it at the end of the 2000 Tour de France, and it had me read the paper every morning for news about Lance. My wife actually bought it and read it first, at the beginning of the Tour, and she read and watched everything she could find about Lance's attempt to win back to back victories of the Tour. A must read for any athlete, cancer patient, cancer survivor or anyone who enjoys being inspired. I'm buying a bike and I'm going to start riding!!

Summary: Humbling
Review: A very candid account of the life of one of best athletes in the world. Sure it's a great account of the world of a professional cyclist. However, it is more than just another athlete's account of how a regular person from a humble background becomes a hero. Armstrong is both honest and a bit brash, but most importantly it is almost impossible to walk away from this book without getting the feeling that we are truly fortunate to be alive. That we have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our friends and families. As long as we are survivors we have the chance to be special. Good story, great inspiration.

Summary: Amazing!
Review: I read the book in one sitting...it's that captivating! Whether you are a cycling fan or not this is one you shouldn't pass up! At times I felt myself angry over the way Armstrong treated his friends, coaches and family but then...you have to consider what he was going through at the time. Yes he is brash but when you're as good as he is and have been through what he's been through it's not without cause. A truly inspirational and uplifting story.

Summary: You'll meet the real Lance
Review: If you are looking for a work of literary art, this isn't it. If you want to know what it was like to grow up and live as Lance Armstrong, the World Champion, Tour de France Winner, and Cancer Survivor, this is the book for you. You feel as though Lance is at the supper table telling you the story of his life over a home cooked meal his Mom made up. If you don't get goose-bumps, check your pulse.

Summary: Doesn't Leave Out Details
Review: Lance Armstrong's book is very inspiring, but not in the fluffy, ethereal manner of so many "inspirational" autobiographies. In this book you get SOME idea of what it must have been like to go through his cancer treatment in very detailed descriptions (central line removal, sperm donation, nausea...). Kudos on the technical correctness in the book from this physician. For those interested in the cycling side, it is also interesting to glimpse the strategy, training and team approach to the Tour. Even if you watched the televised portions of the Tour, you will have a much better idea of how Lance and the U.S. Postal team rode to victory. Very good book.

Summary: Lance's story give hope to Cancer patients
Review: I read this book because I got caught up in the 99 Tour de France and Lance Armstrong's story. What I discovered was much more interesting. The will to live...The fight of cancer patients...The struggle of the cancer patient's family.Not long after reading this book, a friend's son in law was diagnosed with testicular cancer. I gave her Lance's book and sent her the Lance Armstrong Foundations web address ... so that she could get further information on the disease.

Summary: Get it and read it
Review: Lance Armstrong, so very ill with cancer, survived it. An amazing and very personal story of his struggle with the disease and with his upbringing. Yeah for his mom, his friends and his wife, who were/are great supporters! The book, hard to put down, describes how he rediscovers his life through a trememdous ordeal. Very inspiring -- he just doesn't give up!

Summary: Lance is the MAN
Review: I am not a cyclist, nor a cancer survivor, but bought the book anyway and it is, by far, the best book I have read in years. It provides a thoughtful, touching, insightful look into a very private matter, Lance's cancer treatment, Kristen's Invitro fertilization, etc. I enjoyed every minute of it, and in fact, am currenly reading it a second time as I was re-inspired by Lance's recent (second) Tour de France win!!
