Author: Richard Hammond
Format: Hardback
Number of Pages: 320
For the first time, Richard describes his childhood and adolescence and the emergence of the adrenalin junkie, the first ridiculous stunts on his tricycle and an increasing and near obsessive attraction to speed and the smell of petrol. For such a lively and intelligent communicator, TV beckons and he becomes one of the dare-devil trio, with Jeremy Clarkson and James May, who make such an enormous worldwide success of the revamped BBC TV programme Top Gear. He describes the personalities, the comraderie and the stunts with which they entertain their weekly audiences until the day of his 300mph crash that took Top Gear off the air and plunged a nation into mourning. The day of the crash, his rescue and his flight to the hospital in a coma are described and his wife Mindy recounts the anxious waiting until he finally emerges from his coma - to immediately pull out all his life support equipment - and Richard then pieces together the stages of recovery as his shattered mind slowly reforms. We learn exactly what happened to him and the milestones in his slow recovery to full health.
