Perry you are one in a million!

This is such an hilarious biography, whether you are laughing with or at Perry you just will not be able to put it down. There is no doubt at all Perry is a fantastic driver as he is a story-teller and whether he finally does get a drive again, I cant wait to find out . . . but in the meantime let this book take you on the unique roller coaster of Perry World, yes it is a bit like Waynes World and there must be a movie to be made too! (...)

Lets cheer him at Le Mans in 03!!

I learned this book in Nigel Roebucks column of Autosport web and supposed it interesting while, like other readers, my expectation wasnt that high especially as a Japanese Formula One fan. The fact is, I was completely wrong and the book is mighty fascinating and mega fun to the extent that I burst into laughter to myself in the living room, when reading Perrys bulk of jokes spread over. OK, this is the fun side of this book, but fascinating side is his DIE HARD attitude to motor racing, determination to reach the very top, Formula One, whatsoever it takes. When he finally drove out to the pit lane of Barcelona for his first pre-qualify attempt, I was close to be in tears sharing with the very emotion he had at that time and efforts he had made to get one....but the bloody car couldnt complete a lap! Likewise, the story continues with incredible up and down like roller coaster and you cant put down the book till you finish. Now I am and long will be big fan of Perrys and for sure cheer him in Bentley or whatever at La Sarthe 03, IF he secures any shape of drive. Meanwhile, buy this book, now.

Whens the continuation book coming out?

Hands up. Id never heard of Perry McCarthy before. I stumbled over this book whilst searching for something else on Amazon. Its a stumble I was very happy to make because I simply love his book. Its extremely well written - from the heart. From the moment I had read the first few pages, I knew Id have trouble putting it down. Its a terrific tale of one mans desire/dream to succeed in motor racing/F1. Perry will have you gripped on every page. Youll either be laughing, welling up or feeling anxious awaiting the outcome. His one-liners are great. He lets his imagination run wild. I could never in a million years have dreamt up the scams he did. Hes a true talent - not only to racing but to writing too. I sincerely hope that he writes a follow up to this one.
