I have no interest in cars, therefore this book shouldn't interest me, but is does, and it is funny. Taken from Mr Clarkson's column in ‘Top Gear' magazine, from 1993 to 2011. He writes about everything from his wife's pregnancy, his youth, the (British)government, environmental issues, ageing and, er, cars. Yes, everything has a car tie-in somewhere along the line, but the pieces are easy to read, being no longer than two or three pages, though they do get longer towards the end, so you find yourself reading more than planned, well, I did anyway. Aimed at ‘Top Gear' fans for the airport lounge, aeroplane, beach, oily garage, I suspect this will sell by the skip load. It's thickness makes it a handy door stop too!!!
