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
Bill Bryson on two wheels... A one-liner every other line...not so much witty travelogue as self-examination in a joke-heavy trial by fire
Independent
Moore skilfully interweaves laugh-out-loud set pieces with anecdotes from the Tour's history...a great summer read. Very, very funny
Scotland on Sunday
This hilarious account is laden with anecdotes, all conveyed in joyous style
Literary Review
