Book Reviews of Every Second Counts
Book Review: Every second counts
Summary: 5 Stars
If you liked "It's Not About the Bike", then this is a must read continuation of Lance Armstrong's story (and if you haven't read the former, I suggest you start there first). A lot of people will provide polar reviews of both books based on their take of the doping charges against Lance, but in many ways, I think that misses the point: it's not about the bike, it's not about the doping charges, it's about one individual's willingness to be a survivor and all the ups and downs associated with this struggle.
Much of the book is focused on Lance's training routine and analysis of his teammates, which offers an amazing view into one of the most competitive endurance events today. After months of training and weeks of grueling racing, in the end, it still comes down to seconds to determine the winner. There are lessons here for everyone. Great read.
Book Review: love it
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like Lance Armstrong, you'll love this book!! I finished it within few days and waiting for next book to come out(I hope). If you have 'Tour de France' DVDs, you might want to watch it again because now you know what Armstrong was thinking while he was racing at the tour. Some of his tatics deceived our eyes.
'It's not about the Bike' is a great book also.
Book Review: Very insightful, well written
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a very insighful look into Lance's life, and how it changed after being diagnosed with cancer. It describes his battle with cancer in detail, including lengthy descriptions of chemotherapy treatments. If you want to learn about cancer and chemotherapy, this is a good book to pick up!Book Review: Every second counts
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is well written and easy to read. It is a glim of a cyclist's life which includes when they are not on the bike.Book Review: New Tales Of Victory And A Life Philosophy
Summary: 4 Stars
To do what has never been done is a defining part of what makes us human. To win the Tour Du France three or four or even five times was a spectacular accomplishment for any person. But for Lance Armstrong to brave every record by topping it six and then seven times is almost unthinkable. In Every Second Counts he not only tells his new tales of victory but shares his life philosophy to go along with it. Those who read his first book know that being a Cancer survivor changed Lance's life and since that horrific ordeal he has lived every waking moment as a living prayer to give hope to those who have to face similar hardships. If the first book made you a fan, the second is a reminder of why he is still admired.
