The short version:
This book is really for someone who is a Lance Armstrong fanatic.
The long version:
This is basically a self-help book that follows Lance's mentality. I think I'm being a little generous with this book as the majority of it is just filled with quotes and praise of Lance. I can't tell you how many times I read phrases like, "Lance conquered the Tour de France with determination!" What drove me nuts is that the same quote/phrase...more

I enjoyed revisiting Lance's progression. This book interviews Lances' mentors, coaches, work out partners.

It was Ok. If you don't know anything about Lance, then it would be a "good" book. ONly a few interesting paragraphs for anyone who has followed his career.
Ug...how many times can one "author" write "my friend Lance"? I thougth that it would be fun inspiration for the end of cross season...oops. Well, it helps me fall asleep anyway...Save some time and read the chapter titles for the meat of the book. Hint: be focused, be smart, be commited, and luv what you do. And have a positive attitude (maybe I should re-read that part...) zzzzzzz
A bit too sycophantic , I ended up skimming the second half. Nothing really new here.
