- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What's nice is that Sagan goes beyond, "first I won this race, then I won this one." There's not a ton about training. The narrative is choppy and meandering. Very few women appear to be part of Sagan's world. But there are some nice descriptions of racing.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good book if you follow bicycle racing and especially if you root for Sagan. He comes off as an intelligent, fun, kind person, who enjoys his sport and treats others well. Having watched many of the races he covers, I enjoyed getting his inside perspective. Might be pretty boring to someone who isn't a cycling fan, but good perspective on any sport from someone at the top of the game.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An interesting look at the last couple of years of his cycling career. I did get the feeling this was written more by a ghost writer than Sagan - or he had a really good translator.
