Rating:  Summary: You MUST read this book! Review: I am an avid runner and a recreational biker. I understand what it takes to train and to push when you really do not feel like it. After reading this book, I was so inspired. The subject of the book makes you realize how precious every breath you take really is. This is an amazing story about an amazing man. I just kept saying over and over again, "How did he do this?" Where did he get the guts to come back from this? It is very hard to understand how the heck this man was able to come back and win the Tour de France after what he went through. After reading the book I vowed never to complain about running in bad weather, or blow off a run when I didn't feel well. It is truly a book you MUST read. It will help you in ways you never thought possible. This is not a story I will forget.
Rating:  Summary: A strong guy! Review: Lance Armstrong was a very strong and intelligent guy. He was also a bicycle rider. He never gave up for anything, even though he got sick, and he stood to fight 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 hnew 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:  Summary: Don't Give up no matter what! Review: I never knew about Lance Armstrong until I read his book. Lance survived cancer not because he was strong physically or spiritually, but because it was made to be so. His book taught us how to fight the negativity in our lives. He fights the good fight and afterward the Light shines upon his head. Human beings don't like to suffer, but sometimes it's good to have this kind of experience. I believe everyone of us experienced some kind of problem. If it's not sickness, it can be a friend or a member of your family who is trying to harm you. At this point, you need to have 1) faith, 2) self confidence, and 3) courage to face whatever obstacles that happen in life. Lance is a world class champion in biking, but now he has become one of the best humanists in the world. All human beings are scared of death. Who knows? Life might be better over there, where there is no jealousy, no envy, no enemy, no hatred.

Rating:  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:  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:  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:  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:  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:  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.
