Helpful Score: 1

This is the incredible and heartwarming story of a trip from "almost dead" back to "normal" following a horrific car crash. Thankfully the book doesn't dwell too much on the medical details or the emotional roller coaster involved, although it doesn't trivialize them either. Instead the story has the ring of humor and positive attitude that so characterize Richard Hammond, while not avioding some of the truth of the narrowness of his escape and the hard work it took to return to everyday life. If you're a Top Gear fan, or just interested in how the brain heals, this is a great story. It has both love and pain. It is a story that Danielle Steele might have written, except that it really happened.
