This is the story of one man’s journey through triumph, tragedy, transformation, and transcendance. It is the story of Lance Armstrong, the six-time winner of the Tour de France, and his fight against cancer.
People magazine called it “inspiring.” The New York Times called it “fascinating.” But perhaps the Cincinnati Enquirer said it best: “It’s not about the bike, or about the sport. It’s about the soul.”

Summary
Review provided by Danno: Overall In the interest of full disclosure, I am a big fan of Lance Armstrong. I don't know if he did or did not take performance enhancing drugs. I do know that even though his Tour de France wins have been taken away, he had some of the most impressive performances in cycling if not in all of sports. This book was written after his first TdF win so it is missing the later performances, but the section on his solo breakaway makes it worth reading the entire book. I occasionally revisit that section as motivation. Also, it is not all about cycling, so if that's not your thing you will probably still enjoy it.
Violence
Language Not a lot, but the book is about guys cycling, so sometimes the language in the peloton is a little colorful. Lance doesn't censor, but it's not over the top.
Sexual
Drug & Alcohol An occasional reference to beer, plus the drugs he took for treating the cancer.
