Summary: ace journalist goes for the fast buck with old clippings
Review: A book on the most dominant american cyclist of his generation by the only mainstream american sports journalist that actually understands the sport. the problem is that this book is nothing more than a compilation of old articles, and obviously done in a rush as well. typos litter the book, the images are far from impressive (the majority are from the '99 tour, and have as much quality as a fans pics taken with a disposable camera). altogether a waste of my money. if you want to learn about armstrong, then buy 'it's not about the bike', and don't waste your time or money on this.

Summary: AMAZING
Review: I found this book to be amazingly awesome and that if you are a true cyclist, you should read this book. everytime after I read it, it inspires me to ride more often. I strongly suggest this book if you like hearing about miracles happening. I thought it was amazing how Lance over comes cancer and continues to win 5 straight Le Tour de France titles.

Summary: It's Lance that made this interesting
Review: If you like Lance, you might enjoy this. It reads like a series of articles rather than a cohesive story. You'd get a fact stated in one paragraph and then restated as if it were new two paragrahs later. Although interesting, I can't think of much in the book that we didn't hear from the TDF TV coverage. The copy editing was probably the worst I've ever come across in any published book. It drove my wife so batty that she had to stop reading it.

Summary: The straight story
Review: Not much to say, except that Sam Abt has known Lance Armstrong for the better part of a decade and therefore has insight that other sports writers resoundingly lack. If you want to know more about Armstrong, this book is FAR preferable to the rider's terribly (ghost) written autobiography.

Summary: Lance Armstrong's Best
Review: Of the various books about Lance Armstrong, this is easily the most readable and the most atractively presented. It tells the story of Armstrong's early career as well as his painful recovery and amazing comeback and victory in the 1999 Tour de France. Author Samuel Abt and photographer James Startt have put together a personally involved work that makes the reader feel intimately familiar with Armstrong.
