| 1. | Interesting, informative, and well written |
| July 5, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| I'm a casual cycling fan - I only really pay attention during the Tour de
France. I bought the book on the spur of the moment, and it turned out to

| 5. | TRULY INSPIRATIONAL |
| (Michigan) June 28, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |

| 6. | couldn't put it down |
| (Princeton, NJ) June 20, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| I was a bit dubious when I first saw the cover (the book was
a
gift), thinking Coyle's book would rehash what I already knew.

| 10. | Excellent |
| (Denver, CO) July 18, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| I love people who rate a book without even bothering to read it first.
Whether or not you think Lance is "arrogant" or at fault for
leaving his wife (which of course, you have no idea what really happened.
