OMG!!!!!!!!1!1!
OMFG LOL!!! ROFL!!!!
OMGX0RZ!!!1!!!11

WITH THE CAPS!!!! AAAAAAGHHHH!!!

Whew...
Ok deep breath. Work with me here. We'll make it through this.

Ok, Nurse? I think we have a student who didn't do his summer reading. A bad case. Perhaps school starts this week and the book test is tomorrow. We need to work fast. He dosent have much time and dosen't know that there are thousands of blogging nerdmasters who write book reviews for NO GOOD REASON every day on the Internets.

Patient: Did you look at Amazon.com reviews? Often you can glean good info there...but first lets start with cleaning up that title.

The title of the book is 'It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life'

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0399146113/qid=1125446974/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/102-4179729-7590549?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
You must start by reading the user reviews. Everyone in the country it seems thinks he is an all natural marvel who walks on water so I am sure there are loads of in-depth reviews. Also did you read the book preface? Did you search for synopsys(es) online anywhere? Have you even touched the book?

You are more likely to get very verbose answers through a google search, than on here. What you are basically requesting is that someone whip up a cliff notes version of the book for you - and that isn't likely to happen.

HOWEVER

The Web certianly will yield some results. Good golly, I did a 2 second search against the books actual title and came up with plenty. Just one for starts... http://endeavor.med.nyu.edu/lit-med/lit-med-db/webdocs/webdescrips/armstrong12048-des-.html

With the Web, a google search here and there, I would say you'll be fine. If whagt I suspect is true and this is for school, when did they start making kids read fun, easy books as their summer project? I had to read 3 novels every summer, most of them bored me to tears. You have it lucky, kid. Ok go googleing!

Damn! My assertions were correct!

Nurse! Quick! 3 link injections to book reviews stat!!

http://www.totalbike.com/reviews/its_not_about_the_bike_my_journey_back_to_life_9613.htm
http://www.experienceplus.com/reading_room/archives/000081.html <-excellent one

In high school I dodged my summer book reading duties too. It is, in general, a dumb thing to make kids do during their summer, especially up in New England where the summer months are so short.

Just continue searching for that book title, in quotes. You should be able to come up with enough for an essay, even if you aren't a good BS'er.

For the record, you may still want to look into doing some reading. Maybe a typing class even.

Charles Dickens is easily one of the most boring writers to have ever lived? What the hell did people ever see in his work?
