Hey Bill!

How edited do you think that book is? Is it a rah rah Discovery is all wonderful & great or is it fairly honest sounding?

[Scootcore]

its kinda rah rah...but he has some neat stories to tell as well....its not going to win any awards or anything but its a good read.

I read it too. Its basically what you would expect from the title. Its kind of like a written version of the shows on the discovery channel about lance and the team. Its not so Lance oriented, which makes it more interesting. I enjoyed it. Its basically a book on the life of a pro cyclist.
