Narration To Books Every Second Counts
In Paris on 25 July 1999, Lance Armstrong made world headlines with the most stunning comeback in the history of sport, winning the Tour de France in the fastest ever time after battling against life-threatening testicular cancer just eighteen months previously. A few months after that historic victory, he became a father for the first time. His first book, It's Not About the Bike , charted his journey back to life and went on to become an international bestseller, and to win the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2000. Now, in this much-anticipated follow-up, Armstrong shares more details of his remarkable life story, including four more Tour de France wins, an Olympic medal, and the births of his twin daughters Grace and Isabelle. Never shy of controversy, Lance Armstrong is a genuine global sports superstar and one of cycling's greatest ever champions. Here he offers us his life philosophy - his thoughts on thoughts on training, competing, winning and failure. He also recounts the work done for the Foundation he set up following his dramatic recovery and introduces further inspirational tales of cancer survival. Every Second Counts is another extraordinary and awe-inspiring book from a man who strives every day to meet life's momentous challenges.

I would say I liked the book a lot. Just that after all the fuss about 'The' Lance we knew and now reading about it and also recalling what happened to his life eventually. I don't know whether to like him or not. I mean he did raise a lot of money through his NGO and helped millions of people suffering from Cancer. But it hurts me when I think about all the greats who came second when Lance was busy doping.I spent less time reading this book than Lance spends in the saddle on a given day but that hardly makes this a bad book, just a fast read. As with It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life, I read this book almost all in one night, then woke up the next morning and finished it off. As with the previous book, it is incredibly readable and pages fly by.Reading this book in 2011 forces a different perspective and more thought than if one had read it in 2004. Lance is under investigation
Another finish line is out there,but I don't really want to find it - yet~~ every second counts by Lance Armstrong~~year of publication: 2003~~genre: autobiography/ sportAutobiography of the legendary Lance Armstrong where he narrated his survivorship and championships after life-threatening cancer.We all know that he doped and for a minute I will keep all the dope thing aside and will think about him and his challenges,his experiences, his races after cancer which are very inspiring and mind

This book wasn't what I was expecting, or more accurately, what I wanted it to be. I was hoping to learn more about how he dealt with the emotional aftermath that inevitably accompanies being a cancer survivor, specifically during the critical five years following his remission. A large portion of the book was dedicated to recapping his various Tour wins, which, while interesting to read about, just left me even more conflicted in my opinion of Lance 'the athlete', in light of all the doping
Despite believing that Lance Armstrong was a drug using cheat, I really enjoyed his first book "It's Not About The Bike". It was a well written, compelling story. Lance is an example for everyone not to give up, not just cyclists or cancer patients, regardless of whether he's using performance enhancing substances or not.Of course "It's Not About The Bike" was not near enough to dissuade me that Lance's actions on Stage 18 of TDF 2004 were anything but the actions of a bully forcing a smaller
Every Second Counts brings us up-to-date on what happened to Lance Armstrong after he survived testicular cancer and went back to competitive cycling to win the Tour de France. He has since fathered three children (a son and twin daughters) using sperm saved from before his cancer treatments, won four more Tour de France races, become a world-renowned celebrity, been investigated for and cleared of "doping" his body, stayed clean from cancer, become a noted cancer advocate and developed a rocky
This book takes up where the first ("It's Not About the Bike") left off. Armstrong briefly reviews his bout with testicular cancer, and then talks about the next several years of his life, including the second through fifth of his consecutive "Tour de France" victories. There's much more detail in this volume about the cycling experience itself - training, how a team works together, the races, the traditions and emotions. It's a great "look behind the scenes."Unfortunately, Armstrong spent a
