Customer Rating: 
Summary: A top man
Comment: I found this to be an endearing story, I'm unashamedly a huge Top Gear fan so came at this book with a slightly biased perspective. I was immediately struck by Hammond's utter honesty and no BS style of writing. I loved his pre-Top Gear stories and was moved to tears with his account of the accident and subsequent recovery process. Well worth a read.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great read
Comment: really enjoyed this account of a fascinating individual. His sheer guts and determination is matched only by that of his wife who clearly supported him through the most difficult period of his life. It brings 'the hamster' into the heart of the reader.

Summary: Less Mindy, more Hammond please
Comment: I didn't manage to finish this book. It goes on and on and on. I like Richard Hammond and I am :
a) Glad he survived the accident
b) Happy he has such a close loving family.
But the book is just dull. The Hammond passages read as he speaks but the Mindy chapters (and there are lots) really do go on and on. And on. And on some more.
The book feels like a short story padded out to 300 pages.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A wonderful read
Comment: This book was truly moving. Although I had read all about the accident in the papers, to read it both from Richard's view and his wife's brought a lump to my throat.
It was well written and a captivating read. I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Speed Kills! - Nearly
Comment: A pleasant book, charting Richard's career rise to Top Gear.Then doing wacky stunts. Richard is quite a nutter,which almost polished him off,in a near fatal crash.
It's not the most riveting book I have ever read.That said,the enduring love between Richard,his wife Mindy and their children, really shines through. If ever their was a book upholding family values,this must surely be the one. For that reason alone it is worth the read.
Motto of the story, don't drive too fast, don't use remoulds, don't tell J C, don't forget to tell your Missus you love her, especially if you want clean laundry bringing to hospital! Glad he made it through ok.
