The Big Book of Top Gear 2009
£4.00
All the daftest bits of Top Gear in a book - 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!!
Instant Christmas hit - 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
Hilarious. - 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 would love to review this but.... - ...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.
top gear - 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.
