It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life
: I read this book in one day. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It WASN'T just about the bike-- it was about Lance's struggles--his trials and tribulations as a person. I truly hope Lance Armstrong wins again on the bike, and continues to "win" in life. I recommend this book! I didn't want it to end.
This was an amazing book. Lance did such a great job writing it. He did indeed give credit to those who deserved it. His life story touched my heart. As an runner and biker I can relate to him. However anyone, whether you are an athlete or not, will view life differently as you read about his couragous battle with cancer and his journey back to his bike and life. I can't say enough great things about this book. I think everyone should own a copy!
This is a wonderful book that will make you cry, make you laugh, make you cheer. It's the best told-to book in history. Sally Jenkins has captured Lance Armstrong's voice perfectly and together they have written a masterpiece. You'll romp through it in one evening, and buy another one for a friend. Maybe two or three.
I was diagnosed with Testicular cancer in December 2001. I am still going through the treatment right now. I was given this book as a gift from some thoughtful friends. I gobbled it up.
Sadly, the Medical community provides little information about coping and dealing with this disease. Lance's book helped me to understand the disease from a survivors perspective and helped to comfort and motivate me during a time of great personal concern. In addition his website dedicated to the disease is extremely helpful and informative. Although having testicular cancer has made this book particularly personal, I found it to be an excellent read from a human interest perspective and would gladly recommend it to others (who could care less about the cancer aspect) just for the entertainment value of learning about this incredible person and his incredible life.
A well-written, compelling human interest story. I'm an avid cyclist; my wife is not. But we both devoured the book in one weekend. Long-time fans of Lance will appreciate the insights into his life both on and off the bike. Those who know nothing about bicycle racing will get a very readable introduction to a great sport. And anyone who knows and loves someone with cancer will appreciate the warm and human portrayal of those who face this all-too-common disease with courage and hope. This is a great book for anyone.
