Inspiring. ( People ) Fascinating. ( New York Times ) It's not about the bike, or about the sport. It's about the soul. ( Cincinnati Enquirer ), Inspiring. (People) Fascinating. (New York Times) It's not about the bike, or about the sport. It's about the soul. (Cincinnati Enquirer), "Beautiful… It is a book for sports fans and sports haters, for cycling enthusiasts and those who haven't ridden a bike since childhood, for cancer patients and the healthiest of the healthy, for anyone who has ever overcome odds…It's not about the bike, or about the sport. It's about the soul."- Cincinnati Enquirer "Lance Armstrong does things in a big way. Other people write books about the long road back from cancer, or the physical and emotional trauma of infertility, or the experience of growing up without a father, or the determination it takes to win the most important bicycle race in the world. Armstrong lays claim to all of it, and the result is a pretty terrific book…Armstrong's book is both inspiring and entertaining. He doesn't whine, doesn't sugar-coat the tough parts and doesn't forget to thank the good people who helped him most along the way."- Denver Rocky Mountain News "A disarming and spotless prose style, one far above par for sports memoirs."- Publishers Weekly "Fascinating."- The New York Times "Lots of drama…an inspirational story."- People "Absolutely absorbing…compelling."- Denver Post "It's about far more than just the bike."- San Antonio Express-News "Stirring." - Buffalo News "A good, emotional, genuine story, eloquently woven by two master storytellers: Mr. Armstrong, with his honesty and detail, and Ms. Jenkins, for the artists' polish she paints on his narrative… The description of the brutal ride into the French town Sestriere (a major Tour hurdle) is as good a piece of sportswriting as you'll find, and the perfect climax for a fast story…captivating." - Cincinnati Enquirer "[This] is a book with an engaging frankness that reaches readers who'd never be interested in the gear-combination mathematics that engage zealous cyclists…a book that anyone who's been confronted by cancer, personally or through a friend or relative, should read." - Denver Post "The descriptions of his sport, especially of his Tour victory, are gripping." - St. Petersburg Times "An all-American story…inspirational." - Booklist "The best biography of a cyclist I've ever read. Lance's voice comes through in a way I've not seen in print before." - Bill Strickland, Bicycling Magazine

The champion cyclist recounts his diagnosis with cancer, the grueling treatments during which he was given a less than twenty percent chance for survival, his surprising victory in the 1999 Tour de France, and the birth of his son., The #1 New York Times bestseller from the cancer survivor who became a four-time Tour de France champ. In 1996, young cycling phenom Armstrong discovered he had testicular cancer. In 1999, he won the Tour de France. Now he's a new father and a memoirist: with pluck, humility and verve, this volume covers his early life, his rise through the endurance sport world and his medical difficulties.
