Not as good as Every Second Counts ( )

Being a cancer survivor is one of my biggest earns in life, and in his book, Lance showed us how a serious disease can imorove one's mindset and how to be healrhier than ever even after a serious illness. ( )

Good book. ( )

Engrossing reading, but I couldn't recommend it to my boys because of the profanity. ( )

I picked it up this book to read on the second day of the Tour de France in 2005. This book, even more than the first, has heightened my enjoyment of the nightly television coverage of the Tour. In fact, just after reading Lance's discussion of bikes not having chains, George Hincapie used the phrase in an interview. I felt so "in the know"!

I found the book very poignant, with its focus on Kik and the children, particularly Luke, knowing that while the book focuses on valuing and saving the marriage, it is now over.

And I found Lance to be surprisingly humble and human in some places, such as when he was invited to visit NYC firefighters immediately after 9/11.

Honestly, I was prepared to dislike Lance in this book as a cocky, self-impressed, philandering man. He did not come across that way at all, and now I like him even more than ever. [note: this review was written years before Lance Armstrong being forced from the Tour. ] ( )
