An absolutely fascinating and very well written memoir. I've been reading a lot of books about cycling lately, and this was one of the most captivating. Millar's account, not only of his rise and fall, but his redemption and love affair with cycling are gripping and extremely vulnerable. A wonderful read, powerful and moving while being funny with light hearted moments. I highly recommend this to anyone, whether you are into cycling or not. The writing in this autobiography/memoir definitely challenges the notion that athletes are dumb and inarticulate. Millar does an excellent job of leading you down the path he took that resulted in him doping and the one that took him back to clean riding. It's not a flattering portrayal of the cycling world, but it does seem like an honest one. For me, it was also a good introduction to cycling as a sport and all that goes into strategy, preparation, team dynamics, racing schedule, etc. Understanding the sport better definitely makes it more interesting to watch.
