Positively False: The Real Story of How I Won the Tour de France
reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


This book is great with a few caveats. It starts out funny and intense in much the same way, I assume, Floyd Landis is himself. I couldn't put it down but did feel the big change in tone once everything started going downhill (it does get dark and frustrating in the last part). When I checked out info on Landis on the net after reading it, that feeling only got worse.

Floyd is a sympathetic character and I'm definitely a fan but the read gets much darker at the end.

Lastly, if you're a big Lance fan you may not like this book.
