This book starts up where "It's Not About the Bike" left off. Lance has battled cancer that no one thought that he would beat, needless to say he did beat it and then went on to win the Tour de France a record 6 times. I read "It's Not About the Bike" after my accident and when my mom was going through cancer treatment and it was very inspirational for me. I wanted to get up and ride even though I couldn't even get out of bed. He made me want to keep going and believe in myself and my doctors.
Of course since then I haven't gone on to win anything but that book still stays with me. "Every Second Counts" has a different tone. I don't know if he is just cashing in on his fame at the moment but it didn't have the same passion as his previous book. But the subject matter was also a lot more interesting, his life and death struggle with cancer and then getting on his bike and winning the most punishing race imaginable. It is nice to hear about what he has done in the time since the first book. Like starting the Lance Armstrong Foundation and meeting with all of the different cancer patients around the world. He also talks about his different teammates on the USPS team and the training that they have to go through in order to help him win the tour.
Maybe it was just the situation that I was in when reading "It's not about the bike" but I was really disappointed in this one. Maybe a few years should pass and he could have written it with a bit more objectivity. It is hard to be insightful when you are in the middle of the situation. If he writes another book I hope it is 5 years down the line after he has retired and can give the whole scope of the cancer and racing. But I may be asking too much, because he is after all only a bike racer not a writer.
