Book Reviews of The Big Book of Top Gear 2009

Book Review: For the True Fans
Summary: 5 Stars

If you're a true Top Gear fan (as in: watch it for the presenters as much, or more, as for the cars), then this is for you. It's full of just.. random craziness that is sure to bring a lot of laughs. It has only a few pages dedicated to cars with the rest of the pages dedicated to Jeremy, James, Richard, and The Stig. If you squint, you'll see where it's dedicated for cars even more.. but only if you squint. I found there's a bit more James related pages (which I'm a big James May fan so it's great) than the others, but it's off the wall that makes it neutrally hilarious. You don't have to read this book front-to-back. Pick a random page, read, then laugh.

Summary of The Big Book of Top Gear 2009

Packed full of all the chunky, meaty, sometimes-a-bit-on-fire goodness of the television program, this book has the added bonus that you can read it in the bath. Among other things, fans will find 27 previously unknown facts about the Stig; some of the most powerful cars ever to attack the track; and the raunchy story of Richard Hammond's love affair with a small Opel. This book delves into everything you wanted to know, but never found out, about Top Gear's most exciting trips, while also providing fans with comprehensive, fully illustrated arguments against both public transport and the humble caravan. Packed with action and all the power you'd expect from the petrol heads at Top Gear, this is a must-have for fans of the hilarious Emmy Award?winning series.
