Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great read
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.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Less Mindy, more Hammond please
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A wonderful read
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.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Speed Kills! - Nearly
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, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fascinating and well written.
I've just finished reading this book and found it thoroughly interesting and moving. I've only watched Top Gear a few times (one time happened to be Richard Hammond's return after the accident), and I'm not very interested in cars and bikes - but there's something about this guy that I like and so I wanted to read his book. It's well written - not the sort of autobiography that trails through hundreds of anecdotes before you get to the 'main bit', which is - in this case - Richard's terrible accident ... Read More
