This is a light and easy read about Cadel. Not very much new stuff here for an Australian interested in cycling, or having read any other book about Cadel. Covers a lot of ground in only a few short pages with little of any depth. Quite a few factual errors as well. Having said that, however, I did enjoy the book and it did illustrate how hard Cadel had to work for his victory in the 2011 Tour De France. If you are not into cycling and want to read a book about dedication and learn a bit about the inner workings of a cycle race, then this book would be great.Overall I enjoyed the read and would suggest it to my non-cycling friends. If you are into cycling you probably know all this already and his career is covered in far more depth in other books.
