Book by Moore Tim

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"One of the funniest books about sport ever written" (Sunday Times)

"Moore is a talented and funny writer, who, through a combination of slapstick, absurd simile and a healthy suspicion of French civilisation, gives us something to laugh at on every page" (Daily Telegraph)

"Embarrassingly laugh-out-loud" (Daily Express)

"Moore's floundering attempts to emulate the Herculean feats of his cycling heroes unfold with eyewetting hilarity" (The Times)

"Moore unleashes a high-energy torrent of astute observation and hilarious self-deprecation. Hailed a the new Bill Bryson, he is in fact a writer of considerably more substance... The jokes come thick and fast" (Irish Times)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

An heroic account of an inadequate man's attempt to achieve the unachievable. It's not easy cycling the Tour de France. Battling it out with old men on butchers' bikes and pursued by cattle, Tim Moore soon finds himself resorting to narcotic assistance and systematic overeating. Accounts of his suffering and chicanery, and those encountered in the race's history, are interwoven through a look at France s preparations for the most famous cycling event in the world. This recording is unabridged. Typically abridged audiobooks are not more than 60% of the author's work and as low as 30% with characters and plotlines removed.
