review 1: I really enjoyed this biography. It gets behind Lance Armstrong's development into the best cyclist ever to ride in the Tour de France and the people who have been most influential in his success. There's also a good bit of discussion about the use of performance enhancing drugs among elite cyclists. Very informative. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for inspiration. Lance is an amazing person.
review 2: A solid biography covering this somewhat brash, extremely driven world class cyclist and cancer survivor. How amazing winning the Tour de France 6 years in a row, not to mention doing it after nearly being overcome with cancer, is clearly brought to life here. Doping allegations are explored but the focus remains on the man's incredible will pow... moreer and athletic capacity. I saw him race a few times in person and it was unforgettable.A balanced work using many sources and interviews going back to Lance's childhood right up through his 2009 comeback (also amazingly successful).Interesting coverage of his relationship with Sheryl Crow too but this is not a sensationalist work; it's high quality from a good writer. less
