Eric's review
rating:
This is a well-researched book about one of the more tragic characters in modern cycling. Unfortunately, this book is difficult to work through, weighed down by endless people, places, and dates.
The biggest problem I had with this book is that it too focused on technical matters and not enough on Pantani himself. As a result, the story of Pantani the man is lost in a sea of graphs and numbers.
Don't let the two-star rating fool you; I recommend this book to any serious cycling fan. Just brace yourself for some heavy lifting.
