I bought this book as I had picked it up in my local car wash and started reading it just for something to do whilst I waited for my car. Well, just from that short time reading the first few pages, I was hooked! I just HAD to buy it! I had a road accident myself last year and ended up with a brain injury, so found it absolutely fascinating to hear someone else's story. I found it even more interesting to hear how Richard's wife Mindy felt about it. Although I wanted to get to the end when Richard was back home and getting back to normal, I didn't want it to end. I am a fan of Top Gear, but to hear Richard's point of view as just a normal bloke was very moving. I recommend this book to anyone who has suffered a similar injury. A thoroughly enjoyable read!
Fantastic book

A HUMBLE AND FRANK ACCOUNT BY RICHARD AND HIS WIFE MINDY FOLLOWING RICHARDS NEAR DEATH ACCIDENT. THERE ARE 2 STORIES IN ONE, RICHARDS ACCOUNT AND HIS WIFES. A PERSONAL TIME, DEEP FEELINGS, AND ABOVE ALL A VERY LOVING COUPLE AND FAMILY. IT STRIPS AWAY ALL THE TV GLAMOUR TO REVEAL A FAMILY THAT HAS SURVIVED SOMETHING THAT NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD ALTER. ITS TRULY A BOOK YOU WILL FIND DIFFICULT TO PUT DOWN, YOU WILL BE DRAWN INTO THE PRIVATE THOUGHTS AND THE PRIVATE WORLD OF RICHARD AND THE WONDERFUL MINDY. I HAVE NEVER REVIEWED ANYTHING ON EBAY BEFORE BUT FELT THIS BOOK CERTAINLY DESERVED IT.
Interesting insight into the goings on behind the scenes of Top Gear and the amazing build up and post accident recovery story. Also full of humour and classic hampsterisms. A great read.
A lovely book setting the scene of life before his accident and his subsequent recovery with the support of his family, friends and medical staff. Written in true "Hamster" style it's a warm, friendly and engaging book for any Hammond fan.
