5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Biography, August 8, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: On the Bike With ... Lance Armstrong (Paperback)
This biography by Matt Christopher is very informative. It gives a lot of information about Lance Armstrong so if you need to do a report about him this is a great book. It was interesting to learn about Lance's childhood and his determination to win and to beat cancer. It is inspiring. I recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Written for Middle School aged kids, February 17, 2008
This review is from: On the Bike With ... Lance Armstrong (Paperback)
This is an interesting biography on Lance Armstrong, however, it is written with dialogue much more befitting a young adult than a child. We got this for my 3rd grader's Sports Biography book report. The writing is way too lofty for someone earlier than middle school. Otherwise, it tells a simplistic version of Mr. Armstrong's struggle and perseverance -- not really going any deeper than a reporter's version. Since Mr. Christopher writes so many of these sports books, I guess I expected it to be written with a younger voice. So if you're older than 5th grade and you need a sports book report - this is the book for you!
