AMAZING

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.

Lance Armstrong's Best

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.

The straight story

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.
