Lance Armstrong's War...
 

I just finished reading "Lance Armstrong's War" by Daniel Coyle. Pretty good book. It details his 04 TDF from the beginning of the season all the way through training and the tour. Gets a bit into the technical aspects and inside info on cycling. Also gives a look into the main rivals, on who they are as well. Not bad, I recommend the book to anyone that is interested.

it was nice to read about some of the lifestyle and racing from the point of view of landis and hamilton, among others.

Reading it now. Seems more "insightful" into the whole racing scene than any of the previous books.

Agreed, also it's interesting to get someone else's perspective on the whole Lance realm, seeing as the other two Lance books were self-authored to a degree.

I agree with the comments above, the book was a good read to me. It is interesting to read about Armstrong and also about the other riders/competitors of his. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.

I am also reading it now. So far I'm impressed.

I'll give this one a crack....it's sad, but I normally don't read.

Thumbs up...

I read it and found it more interesting from a cyclist perspective than the previous two... Those were mostly for cancer survivors, 'good-to-feel' positive and inspirational stories about getting your life back against odds...

This one is more about racing, preparation, competition, offering a deeper psychological understanding of a champion (not always flattering)... Really worth reading ;)

I'm taking it on vacation - don't anyone give away the end.

He loses Rad....really sad. Something happens during a TT. There..I saved you the wasted time of reading on vacation. Reading on vacation....what the....you read?

Vacation - snorkeling, boogie boarding, sunning, eating, reading and sleeping. Is there anything else to do on an island?

I read the whole thing in 2 days. I couldn't put it down!
It was great to read about all the behind the scenes action and the different perspectives of Hamilton, Landis, Ullrich, etc...

Got finished with it last week and, like most of you so far, I thought it was less biased and more interesting than previous books about or by Armstrong. I told Wifey that she needs to read it because it talks so much about cycling and the other riders and not solely about Armstrong.

Great read. I bought it looking for a more impartial view of LA that was lacking in the previous books, and think I got it. At least it was a fun read as all the characters were endowed with colorful personalities, especially Landis and Ferrari.

I'm heading off to spend my Amazon.com gift certificate right now.

Well, I can think of a couple.
Is Mrs. Rad going along? ;)
