"I want to die at a hundred years old with an American flag on my back and the star of Texas on my helmet, after screaming down an Alpine descent on a bicycle at 75 miles per hour. I want to cross one last finish line as my stud wife and my ten ...
Pros: Beating the odds can be done Cons: some parts are drastically graphic
Can hope and willpower beat the odds of a life-threatening disease? I think so. "I want to die at 100 years of age with an American flag on my back and the star of Texas on my helmet. I want to cross one more finish line then lie down in a field of...
Pros: A truly inspiring story Cons: Might make the reader feel like a wimp
Atlanta, 1996 Summer Olympics: Elite cyclist, Lance Armstrong takes a 6th in the time trial and places 12th in the Road Race. Mere mortals would view that as an outstanding athletic accomplishment. Olympian Armstrong was sorely disappointed.
Pros: One of the most inspiring stories ever.
A great read. Cons: None.

Pros: Amazing story, easy read Cons: style, but whatever.
To be perfectly honest, I am not a big reader. The only way I sit still for extended periods of time is if you put rollers under my bike. But this is one book that I had to take the time out to read. I will admit that this book is not a literary...
Pros: Well Written, Inspirational Cons: Ended Too Soon
The best way for me to describe this book is like this... When I reached the end of "It's Not About The Bike: My Journey Back To Life," I was sad. Not sad because of the way it ended or by the story of Armstrong's struggle, but because I could...
Pros: Inspirational, honest, motivational, easy to read, Cons: Revised version needed to update Lance's success story

Pros: Graphic, Gripping, Inspirational Cons: May be too much for some readers
Lance Armstrong’s autobiography “It’s Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life” is a touching story with an incomparable inspirational effect. The author tells of his transformation from a brash cocky young athlete who, at one point,...
Am I going to hell for not recommending this book? Everyone else who's reviewed it has given it a glowing review, but, to be totally honest, I could have skipped it.
I should give credit where credit is due. Lance Armstrong is an amazing man....
Pros: inspirational, comes across with sincerity, Lance's strength shines through for all to share Cons: left me wanting more! but I guess that's actually good.
