Book Review of It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life

It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life
reviewed on + 5 more book reviews


I requested and received this book when my 25 year old nephew was very ill with testicular cancer. I learned a lot from it and it was certainly inspiring. However, Mr. Armstrong comes across as a bit of a jerk - especially in the way he treated his girlfriend and later his wife. Very easy reading and great overview of the Tour de France.
My nephew died last week so his ending did not turn out as well as Mr. Armstrong's.
