Book Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
True gem!
Especially if you recognize yourself and/or your father in it and your troubled relationship. And you use cycling to fight inner demons.
It actually brought tears to my eyes several times.
Highly recommended.
Book Review: Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a cyclist, father of a young daughter and a budding author, I found this book completely amazing. After reading this book, I feel like I've cycled a crit, raised a family and lived a lifetime. Keep the rubber side down, Bill!Book Review: 10 points=10 stars
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well written book with alot of emotion and character. It's hard to believe that a child was forced to go through so much at such a young age and still turned out to be such a respected member of the cycling community.Book Review: fantastic writing
Summary: 5 Stars
Great writing skill makes even the most deranged experiences somehow lyrical and readable. And the insight into racing is gripping.Book Review: Moving- In more ways than one.
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a novice bike rider - but experienced at life's difficulties- I see them everyday. This book takes you on a real ride through Bill's races as he tries to achieve a level of points amongst his peers. However, it's his real life story that takes you for a ride you won't forget. It's not your typical personel success story in the end, but it's a real life story that any one of us can relate to in some way or another if you've lived to see it all. In the end, it's Bill's understanding that is his true achievement.
Beautifully written. This is no "Million Little Pieces" prose, it reads more like a bike ride through, over, up and down life's rolling hills.
