Literature Review

1) An easy read, if you have standard Indian vocublary, you won't require the dictionary not even the pocket one

2) A good gauge to check your reading comprehension skills you should be able to finish it two days

If you don't meet any of the above two conditions you need to seriously review yourself on the above two parameters (Take it easy, just kidding)

Truly inspirational book. Bought this book for my aunt who is battling with cancer. Irrespective of the doping allegations, Armstrong still remains a hero for his battle with cancer and his grit to get back to living.

This book has been written with a very very frank attitude.
The name says it all - MY JOURNEY BACK TO LIFE !!!

1)I got a Huge, Extraordinary, Inspiration from this LITTLE book.

2)The book has lucid language, nothing to worry about that.

3)Life is a game, you either PLAY or QUIT.but SON, YOU NEVER QUIT!

THIS IS THE MOST INSPIRATIONAL AND MOTIVATIONAL SENTENCE through out the book.

4)It's always GOOD to get back to LIFE;but it's always BETTER to be back at LIVING!

mind you, this sentence will BE DRILLED into your mind FOREVER.

5) this is for those-

who UNDER-ESTIMATE themselves and always RELY on other people's OPINIONS. It's your life make it large !

What i personally felt after reading this is

We all have the required PHYSICAL strength BUT what matters most is the MENTAL strength...and LANCE ARMSTRONG is A LEGEND in this!

LANCE ARMSTRONG ! the name is ENOUGH !

NOTE: READ THE BOOK, AND YOU HAVE YOUR SECOND LIFE WAITING OUT THERE !

People around the world have known Lance Armstrong as a a bicycle hero, a winner of Tour de France a record 7 times in his career. They also know him as a controversial character with doping allegations and fights with cancer... This one's not about that.

This 2000 autobiographical book with Sally Jenkins, written shortly after he won the 1999 Tour de France. It is about how a cocky brash kid who drove a red sports car, who struggled through life with parental issues, peer pressures, reached the top, fell into cancer, with hardly 3% chance of survival... in 1996, when he had been diagnosed with testicular cancer, which spread to his lungs, abdomen and brain. This disrupted his career, and the book is about his journey back...
The book covers his story from childhood to the 1999 Tour, and the birth of his first child. A subsequent autobiographical instalment, entitled Every Second Counts and also with Sally Jenkins as co-author, continues the narrative until his 2003 Tour victory.

Read this if you ever feel the need of encouragement - to never quit. Even when you want to. Even when you have to. Even when you need to... you don't quit.. Why? Because you never give up.

Unstoppable...both Lance and the read....
Unbelievable..yet true...I have seen this disease very closely and could understand what Lance might have been through....

Out of this world....Lance, fights one of the most dreaded disease and makes a come back to win the Tour de France...world's most grueling cycling endurance event....

The emotional changes, the strength that he gathers, the unfathomable quest that he endured with cancer, with his inner self....his Childhood, his Mother his family and friends....

A Must Read....

Finished this yesterday....a wonderful tale of determination and fortitude...and amidst all the controversies related to Armstrong these days this is such a meaningful read...definitely one of the most inspiring books of all-time....it is a must-read for all...

Read it a long time after its release but once I started, I was completely blown away by it. Lance Armstrong's journey from death to life is inspiring in every aspect. Highly recommended. And yes, nothing remains to be said about flipkart's service. They are super quick as always :)

This book is not about lance Armstrongs feat in cycling or his illness, it's about the power of oneself and the power that the human spirit has... An exceptional book...
It starts from his early days, giving us an account of his entire life, including instances which people refrain from discussing...

It's an example of expressing your thoughts freely...

Last but not the least.... Read it and live strong!!!!!
Cheers...

An amazing story of winning against all odds. Lance goes past mere survival to actually living a complete and fulfilling life.

He never gave up whether it was on a bike or on a hospital bed. He fought simply for the gift of waking up every morning.
Simply amazing. This man is a legend.

His story is the stuff legends are made of.

A man who prides himself on his extreme athletic fitness, suddenly realizes his sense of pride or his way to make a living is taken away. A beautiful and inspiring story of Lance Armstrong fighting death to getting back his pride
