It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life

So...I understand that Lance is not a writer - but why hire a ghost-writer that cannot write either?
That aside - "Its Not About the Bike" is a combination cancer survival against the odds/sports prodigy story/inspiration.
Lance seems like an arrogant asshole, its true, but I couldn't help getting all ferclempt when he wins the tour the first time...I love cycling, I am truly fascinate by the mental and physiological processes of true athletes, and this book *did* give a little insight.
Maybe with a better writer he would have conveyed how much the cancer changed him...he kept saying that it did, but he didn't show me. Sports book - feh. What can you expect?
