Hmm, interesting...I'm actually not into sports or the "business" side of money much, but I am into real estate! I wonder if I would find it as enjoyable? LOL

Great review!

This book sounds like a really good read. The review was really thorough - I especially liked the explanation of what a 'burn zone' is.

Great review! Sounds like a great book!! Sounds like a book I would enjoy as I enjoy biographies and especially autobiographies! Biographies are nice, but it is someone else's take on another person's life. It's always so nice to read about a person's life in his or her own words. Thanks for an interesting review!

CataclysmicKnight, I was intriqued by your review and found it on Amazon for 99 cents, so I just bought it! Looking forward to reading it, CataclysmicKnight, because of your review!

Great review! I usually don't get into sports/biography type books, but your review made me think I might really enjoy it. Comparing it to the Disney style motivational movies was a nice touch.

Sounds like a very inspiring book. I enjoyed your review so I think I will enjoy the book as well. I like stories where characters triumph over adversaries.

Would have liked to see more discussion of voice/style and structure in the review but covers the content well. Cycling seems to be really taking off over the last few years. Perhaps it is the threat of energy running out in the not-too-distant future?

*definitely

The book sounds interesting; you've convinced me that I'll probably like it. As brandy29b said (nice name, by the way), congratulations to the author and reviewer. Great review!

I enjoyed your review. When I realized the book was sports related I knew that it wasn't for me. Your well written review made me rethink and I will keep it in mind when I'm depressed and need to rekindle my passion and inspiration. Congrats to you for the great review and the author for a four star review!
