Book Reviews of Danica--Crossing the Line
Book Review: Great way to learn what brought her to Indy in detail
Summary: 5 Stars
We've only heard bits and pieces of the background of Danica Patrick and what got her to Indy, but by reading this book you learn the details. Karting, Formula Ford in UK, her patron sponsors, Bobby Rahal discovering her, her families dedication to her, her romance with her eventual husband.
My own feelings about her - having been someone myself who went to England to race FF1600 at 26 - is that her biggest accomplishment was going to England at 16 for 3 years to race. She didn't get good cars, and no one was there to look out for her and it affected her results of course. It took a lot of guts. (She has guts!)
I came away being a fan of her's - I wasn't before.
Summary of Danica--Crossing the Line
Danica Patrick's life moves at 220 mph. She drives every race and lives every day like she has something to prove -- and she does. As a 5-foot 2-inch, 100-pound woman, she had to qualify a little quicker and race a little faster than the boys -- just to earn the respect she would otherwise be given if she weren't the "girl on the track, driving the princess mobile." But you don't get to be an IndyCar driver without talent and determination. Danica is living proof that if you work hard and aim high, you can do whatever you set your mind to, that you can rise to any challenge, and that what makes you different is what makes you great.Sharing secrets and stories, tales from the track, and insights into her personal life, Danica reflects on her extraordinary rise from a ten-year-old go-kart champion to a twenty-three-year-old Indy star. An inspiration to all, she offers her unique perspective on how to compete in life, how to stand out, and how to get the respect and attention you deserve.
