5 out of 5 stars All the daftest bits of Top Gear in a book   January 2, 2009
Tealady2000 (Edinburgh)
I bought this for my 12-year-old son and he loved it. If you're looking for serious car reviews (or serious material of any kind) you will be sadly disappointed - this book definitely focuses on the laddish and jokey elements of the show, and if you like those, you'll love this. There is a 'What Top Gear Team Member are You?' quiz, a feature on 'Why Caravans are just Wrong', lots of spoof adverts for Top Gear products, a Biggles-type cartoon strip and numerous features on the various insane challenges that the guys have attempted. In summary - perfect for 12-year-old boys of all ages!!


5 out of 5 stars Instant Christmas hit   December 31, 2008
Mist of Time (UK)
Ideal for all fans of the show and appeals equally to kids as adults. None to serious but a great pot pourri of material themed on the show. If you like one you should like the other


5 out of 5 stars Hilarious.   December 18, 2008

This is as funny as Monty Python. I've had it on my coffee table for the past week or so and everyone who visits picks it up and finds something to chuckle at. Somebody here has said it's not like the magazine, and I can heartily agree with that. We stopped subscribing to the magazine. This book is much more like the daft bits of the TV show all bound together, and then some. A brilliant accompaniment to one of the best shows on TV. Hilarious.

...I foolishly took the Super Saver delivery and a combination of Amazon and the Post Office have lost it. If you want it for Christmas, get it from a bookshop.

It looked very funny when I read it in a bookshop, but Richard Porter is always very funny.

If you like the "Top Gear" TV show but you wish it was made of paper and didn't move around so much, this is the answer to your prayers. "The Big Book of Top Gear" is packed full of all the chunky, meaty, sometimes-a-bit-on-fire goodness of the telly programme, with the added bonus that you can read it in the bath. Among other things you'll find: 27 previously unknown facts about the Stig; some of the most powerful cars ever to attack the track; the raunchy story of Richard Hammond's love affair with a small Opel; an essential guide to May-style sheds for the modern gentleman; everything you wanted to know, but never found out, about Top Gear's most exciting trips; and, comprehensive, fully illustrated arguments against both public transport and the humble caravan. Packed with action and all the power you'd expect from the petrol heads at Top Gear, "The Big Book 2009" is the must-have for fans of "Top Gear", from teenagers to granddads and everyone in between.
