Book Reviews of The Rider
Book Review: Read "The Rider"
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love cycling you will enjoy "The Rider" very much.This gritty realistic story of a one day stage race made me feel a part of the peloton.Cycling is a demanding and dangerous sport.When I daydreamed of becoming a professional cyclist this book reminded me of why that probably wasn't a good idea.Book Review: Krabbe gets it right
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an incredible work, considering that Krabbe is a non-cyclist. Every time I read "The Rider" I am impressed by his ability to capture the experiences of bicycle racing.
If you are a competitive cyclist, or just a cycling enthusiast, Krabbe's work is a must-read.
Book Review: The rider
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been waiting nearly four week for this book to arrive. This is my first purchase from Amazon, and I am not impressed. I cannot even find a contact email to complain, hence my protests have been place in this unlikely space. Carboncopy is not happy.Book Review: Riding with the Rider
Summary: 4 Stars
Good writing style. I felt as if I were the rider myself in those competitions. Good inspiration for me as a beginning road cyclist. I also own Lance Armstrong books. Strongly recommend on this one. Fun and Knowledge filled writing style.Book Review: Less is More
Summary: 5 Stars
Best cycling novel ever (2nd best is Ralph Hurne's "The Yellow Jersey", despite flaws). 'Rider' is extremely engrossing. Can be read in one or two evenings. Cannot be put down. Evoked every emotion I've encountered while racing a bicycle.
