Book review:Its not about the bike- My journey back to life

For those of you looking for some motivation, this one by none other than Lance Armstrong is a must read...
For me a books of this genre are made by certain key moments which set their tone and in this book those were...
The description of a young Lance asking this his mother when she was facing certain problems at workplace
"Why dont you quit mom?"
and she replies "You never quit son"
This statement of her stuck with him, which is justified when he states in the first few pages...
"Like it or not your future is shaped by your past"
For those of you who think they have failed enough in life...there is this message which he gets from a cancer patient ,when he gets diagnosed with the disease...
"You dont know it yet,we are the lucky ones"
To put it succintly this work covers the transition of a brash youth into a man in the face of adversity.So, Go Get It...
