That's probably why he writes articles instead of books. This book is a collection of these articles, and it is an interesting and entertaining read. However, I couldn't read it front to back. Instead I read it over a series of take offs and landings during a trip, and that worked well. Apart from Jeremy's sense of humour, and the fact that he's mostly right, the other interesting aspect of this book is that you get to see his writing style develop over time. It helps explain how we ended up with Top Gear. <br/><br/><i>Tags for this post: book(<a href="http://www.stillhq.com/book"><img src="http://www.stillhq.com/tagicon.cgi?post=/book/Jeremy_Clarkson/On_Cars&tag=book&format=.png" border="0" alt="S"></a>) Jeremy_Clarkson(<a href="http://www.stillhq.com/Jeremy_Clarkson"><img src="http://www.stillhq.com/tagicon.cgi?post=/book/Jeremy_Clarkson/On_Cars&tag=Jeremy_Clarkson&format=.png" border="0" alt="S"></a>) </i> </td></tr></table> <a href="http://www.stillhq.com/book/Jeremy_Clarkson/On_Cars.commentform.html">Comment</a> http://www.stillhq.com/book/Jeremy_Clarkson/On_Cars.html http://www.stillhq.com/book/Jeremy_Clarkson/On_Cars.html
