A must read for anyone who is an automotive enthusiast., May 7, 1998

This review is from: Confessions of a Fast Woman (Paperback)
Lesley Hazleton's book "Confessions of a Fast Woman" is a thought-provoking journey into the mind of a socially conscious gear-head. She raises questions publicly that anyone with a passion for cars should have asked themselves. Her descriptions of speed and adrenaline grab the reader's attention for the rest of the book. I believe that the breaking of gender roles is only of small importance to this work, the book would have been just as profound if a man wrote it. What distinguishes this book from other speed-reading is the level at which she questions and analyzes her addiction to the internal combustion engine. The control and power issues she attacks are something that nearly all drivers have felt, but rarely discuss.
