From a review of Daniel Coyle's Lance Armstrong's War: One Man's Battle Against Fate, Fame, Love, Death, Scandal, and a Few Other Rivals on the Road to the Tour de France:
Coyle, with a velvety mix of vivid, sophisticated prose, Raymond Carver's unerring eye for nuance, and John Irving's irreverent, unflinching humor, lays bear the European peloton (a race's large main group) during the 2004 season. From his base in Girona, Spain--the European epicenter of American cycling and Armstrong's Postal/Discovery team--Coyle spins a yarn worthy of a Tolkien trilogy.
