Okay, so I'm a pro-cycling fan, so this book was a bit more interesting to me than it would be to those who don't follow pro-cycling. BUT, let me say that I'm also not a die-hard cycling follower. The Tour de France gives me more joy every summer than anything I can think of, and I also enjoy watching smaller events throughout the year - Tour de Georgia, Tour de California, etc. The thing is, I love stories of personal struggles & triumphs. I love stories about the human process, and this book really showed not just Lance Armstrong's discipline and dominance of pro-cycling, but of all the pro-cyclists struggles, and the general lifestyle of the team members. As well, it gives a good overview of the intricate strategies involved during a race and the challenges facing the sport as a whole.
Okay, so if you have no interest in cycling... don't read the book.
