That's exactly how a biography should be written. Focus on details and emotional events. Not main outlines, but small events that show us who Tyler Hamilton is and how he reacts to small challenges. Often being polite when he's in the right. Apologizing when Lance Armstrong gets mad and demands an apology in front of the team just to feel big and make sure no one is brave enough to challenge him.
Tyler Hamilton is indeed a dull guy as the author says. At least when it comes to cycling. But he was friends with the greatest legend in cycling history and oh boy does the book take advantage of it. Lance is mentioned more than anyone else and all chapters are about him. We hear about some Tyler wins and great performances. Then his girlfriends and dogs. But he even lived next to Lance. At the end it becomes too much, but Lance made money on bullying these type of riders to not overperform. So fair enough they make money on telling on Lance. It's deserved. And while part of me despises Lance I can't help by being a huge fan of the chaos and performances he delivers to the world. The guy is mentally unstable in a way that makes him fun to watch as he is so extremely arrogant everything with him is a fight.
Tyler is a meager depressed guy. And his descriptions of his own starving is disgusting. He writes about many doping events and main Tour de France events from the period. But it's very light and way too short. It should have been 50 hours long as an audiobook to fully explain it all. I would read it right this moment. Tyler has a charm that's absolutely insane. Go watch his interviews. He comes off as extremely brutally honest.
The book is just wicked fun to read. Especially after I read a bunch of dull history books in a row before this. You will love it.
