Book Review: A Dog in a Hat
Summary: 2 Stars
Nice behind-the-scenes view of the dirty gritty world of European cycling. Best for true lovers of the sport who will appreciate the passion of the author, and the peek into what really happens in the sport. This isn't great prose, an Updike or a Hemingway, it is a passionate story, from the heart, written by the man who lived it.
