If you love Top Gear, this is a great book to have some fun with. It really isn't a book you read from cover to cover. It's filled with the wonderful silliness that makes Top Gear so brilliant, one can open to any page and have a laugh. The boys prove they are just as entertaining on the page as they are on the screen.

I have 3 years of these books. Everyone including this one kicks ass. Similar layout to the tv series with a lot of extras.

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.

Got this for my Top Gear obsessed 13 year old. He loves it! He has looked at it countless times and still find him chuckling over it. Of course, the fact he's read passages to me also countless times can be a bit.......actually,I don't mind. Beats a video game.

I bought this book as a holiday gift. My son in law was thrilled with it. Lovely, well put together book.

Only bought because I am stuck in the US and can't get any good top gear stuff here, but what a waste. The book is boring, and there is nothing worth reading in it. I think I got a good laugh at maybe 3 or 4 of the pages at most. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
