Book Reviews of Richard Hammond's Car Confidential: The Odd, the Mad, the Bad and the Curious

Book Review: If you like Top Gear, then buy this book. If you never heard of Top Gear before, then don't.
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is funny. If you have seen the show Top Gear before, you would already know how funny these Top Gear host are. The book is very colourfull which seems to target little children with colourfull pictures/drawings. This book seems to be written for the British public, a.k.a people who is able to watch Top Gear. If you have never heard of Top Gear or a bloke named Richard Hammond before. Then there is no point buying this book. This book is not that very informative and you might say it is a waste of money.

Loaded with information and wit, this hilarious overview is a must-have for anyone even remotely interested in cars. Its topics include car and traffic etiquette, how to buy a car, how to avoid giving murderers a lift, the seven ages of the motorist from learning how to drive at 18 to driving the wrong way down highways at 80, a spotter's guide to motorists in the style of a World War II manual, customizing, the alternative guide to road rage, and even organizing that last journey?cool hearses to be buried in. Several top 10's are also listed, including the top 10 noble failures, remembering Chrysler's car for women, the "Femme," which came in one color?shocking pink?and a matching shocking pink handbag and lipstick. Lastly, a "What Not to Drive 2007" update covers all the new cars in a cut-out-and-keep guide?everything a driver needs to know.
